Organic Self-Assembled Layer-by-Layer Thin Films for Second-Order Nonlinear Optics

Layer-by-layer deposition techniques were used to fabricate films with second order nonlinear optical (NLO) properties. These materials are key to the development of electro-optic modulators used in fiber optic communication systems. Performance benefits and lower manufacturing costs are driving t...
