This paper brings an overview of photoisomerization-derived properties in azobenzene-
containing nanostructured films produced with the Langmuir–Blodgett (LB) and layer-by …

Täglich benutzen wir Schalter, um strombetriebene Geräte an-und abzuschalten und kein
Compuer würde ohne sie funktionieren. Nach den gleichen Prinzipien funktionieren auch …

The field of nonlinear optics emerged three decades ago with the development of the first
operating laser and the demonstration of frequency doubling phenomena. These milestone …

We present a new formulation of Maker fringes in parallel-surface films, using self-consistent
boundary conditions for reflections and allowing for any degree of refractive-index …

We report the demonstration of an electro‐optic sampling technique that allows for the
detection of freely propagating terahertz radiation. Coherent sampling is performed in a …

Two amorphous copolymer series and one blend series based on Disperse Red 1 and
methyl methacrylate are compared using absorption spectra and optically induced …

In this work, the second-and third-order nonlinear optical response of spin-deposited thin
films of three different push− pull side chain azobenzene polymers is investigated by the …

Several high-performance polymeric electro-optic modulators have been demonstrated in
the last decade. Most of them have been elaborated using specific high-performance electro …

We report the generation of terahertz radiation via optical rectification from a poled polymer
using femtosecond optical pulses. We have measured the refractive index and power …
