Enhancement of Nonlinear Optical Properties Through Supramolecular Chirality
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 10 February 2011
Abstract
We study second-order nonlinear optical properties of enantiomerically pure and racemic Langmuir-Blodgett films of a chiral helicenebisquinone. Supramolecular aggregation of the material enhances the nonlinear efficiency of the enantiomerically pure material. We also show that the material is potentially useful for constructing quasi-phase-matched structures for frequency conversion.
