A second-order nonlinear optical (2NLO) material generates a second harmonic (2w) from an incident laser beam with the frequency of w and shows electro-optic properties. 2NLO materials are currently widely used as key materials for optical communication, optical switching, laser components, IR detectors for medical and military applications, and so on. Although some 2NLO materials are commercially available, their tensor components of the quadratic NLO susceptibilities (d mn ) are not high enough to be used in miniature integrated photonic devices. Therefore, the search for 2NLO materials with exceptionally high activities has to be continued not only to enhance their functions in current applications but also to help expedite the materialization of photonics in which photons instead of electrons are used for signal processing, transmission, and storage.The general approach has been to organize the molecules with large second-order hyperpolarizability (b) values into 2NLO materials. The first methodology has been noncentrosymmetric crystallization of 2NLO molecules. [1,2] However, this methodology has been of limited success. The second methodology has been orientation-controlled layerby-layer deposition of 2NLO molecules on substrates. [3][4][5][6][7][8][9] However, the procedures are highly time-consuming, and the obtained materials bear no practical applicability arising from their poor mechanical and thermal stabilities. The third methodology has been random incorporation of dipolar molecules into polymer matrices followed by subsequent electric field-assisted forced alignment of the molecules into a uniform direction, a process often called poling. [10][11][12][13][14] This methodology can also be named as a host-guest composite formation methodology, where a polymer is serving as a flexible organic host. However, the gradual orientation relaxation of the 2NLO molecules into the original random orientations under the application conditions or often called depoling has been a serious problem.To overcome such problems associated with depoling, orientation-controlled insertion of 2NLO molecules into rigid inorganic hosts has received great attention. Thus Stucky, [15,16] Marlow, [17,18] Caro, [17][18][19] and Qiu, [20] and others started testing zeolites as the rigid hosts. The tested zeolites were AlPO 4 -5, [15][16][17]19] silicalite-1, [18,20] ZSM-5, [18,19] and others. [21,22] The studied 2NLO molecules were para-nitroaniline and the related molecules. [17][18][19][20][21] Through these works, the potential of zeolites as versatile rigid inorganic hosts for preparation of practically viable inorganic-organic host-guest second-harmonic generating materials was demonstrated. However, the employed zeolite hosts were limited to powders and small single crystals that bear limited practical applicability. Furthermore, the b values of the tested 2NLO molecules were low (about 35 10 À30 esu at 1064 nm). [23,24] Therefore, to develop commercially viable zeolite-molecule host-guest 2NLO materials, methods to grow tr...
