Study of an organic nonlinear optical material for nanoscale data storage by scanning tunneling microscope

Non-linear optical properties of 2,7-naphthyridine derivatives for optical switching applications: a DFT study

“…Design and development of novel non-linear optical (NLO) materials is an area of hot pursuit, thanks to its wide applications in the areas of information technology like telecommunications, 1–4 data storage, 5 sensors 6,7 and signal processing, 8 laser technology, 9 optical switches, 10,11 quantum computing and quantum optics, 12 particle accelerators, 13 ultra-cold atoms, 14 and laser frequency modulators. 15 Even though both inorganic and organic materials exhibit NLO properties, organic NLO materials are generally preferred due to their low cost and reduced toxicity, solution processing flexibility and ease of chemical synthesis, structural modification adaptability and device fabrication, ability for the good tuning of NLO susceptibilities and coefficient malleability.…”

Optical-induced dielectric tunability properties of DAST crystal in THz range*

“…Organic nonlinear optical (NLO) materials have attracted significant attention due to their potential for various applications, such as electro-optic modulation, [1] nonlinear frequency conversion, [2,3] optical data storage, [4,5] and optical telecommunication. [6] Especially in the field of THz technology, the organic NLO materials with excellent nonlinear optical and electro-optical (EO) properties have been considered to be the ideal media for efficient generation and sensitive detection of THz wave.…”
