Polymers with strong piezo-, pyro-, and ferroelectricity are attractive for a wide range of
applications. In particular, semicrystalline ferroelectric polymers are suitable for a large …

Embryonic development is highly complex and dynamic, requiring the coordination of
numerous molecular and cellular events at precise times and places. Advances in imaging …

Experimental and numerical results for second harmonic generation (SHG) in photonic
crystal (PC) based on NaNO 2-infiltrated opal matrix are presented. SHG is performed in …

More than one order enhancement of third-harmonic generation is observed experimentally
at band-gap pumping of globular photonic crystals. Due to a lateral modulation of the …

We present a full theoretical analysis of quasi-phase-matching (QPM) in three-dimensional
(3D) periodic structures and point up optimum nonlinear structures, which promote the best …

Guided mode resonance (GMR) enhanced second-and third-harmonic generation (SHG
and THG) is demonstrated in an azo-polymer resonant waveguide grating (RWG) …

The invention of the laser provided enough light intensity that nonlinear optics (NLO) could
be observed for the first time, almost exactly one year after the first ruby laser–second …

We show that an azopolymer can be used to create a supramolecular architecture in a
parallel process with patterned surface properties. By illuminating with an interference …

We demonstrated optical-controlled graphene-based nonvolatile transistors incorporated
with azobenzene copolymer. The transistor was gated by the quasi remnant polarization of …

We demonstrate the fabrication of a three-dimensional (3D) polymer quadratic nonlinear
(χ^(2)) grating structure. By performing layer-by-layer direct laser writing (DLW) and spin …
