Abstract

Abstract For the practical application of second-order NLO materials, not only a high molecular quadratic hyperpolarizability β but also good thermal, chemical, and photochemical stabilities are required. Most of the state-of-the-art chromophores with high NLO response cannot be put to use because they are photochemically highly unstable. Good thermal and photochemical stabilities with preserved high hyperpolarizabilities can ...
