his book provides insight into organic electro-optic materials, from fundamental physics to practical applications. The authors focus on the importance of “photonic integration” as the next step in the long-term development of these materials for computing, telecommunications, and related technologies. This book gives guidance on structure–property relationships needed to improve device performance. It emphasizes second-order nonlinear optical effects in organic materials and their applications. Chapter 1 provides a history and introduction to nonlinear optical phenomena. Chapter 2 presents the basic theory of the nonlinear optical response, including the nonlinear wave equation and secondand third-order nonlinearities. Chapter 3 focuses on electro-optic phenomena. Topics discussed include the electro-optic effect, frequency and wavelength dependence,
and electro-optic modulation. Chapter 4 gives the theory of nonlinear optics from a molecular perspective and experimental techniques for measuring nonlinearities. This chapter also discusses approaches to the design and synthesis of organic electro-optic chromophores. Chapter 5 discusses self-assembled acentric materials, including Langmuir–Blodgett, solution-deposited, and vapor-deposited films. Chapter 6 covers crystalline materials, including crystal-growth methods. There is a discussion of the most promising organic electro-optic crystals. Chapter 7 focuses on poled polymer systems and discusses optical loss and thermal and photochemical stability. There is a detailed discussion of device fabrication, including silicon photonic, plasmonic, and photonic-crystal hybrid devices. Chapter 8 reviews the device parameters and materials requirements for applications, including telecommunications, computing, and plasmonic devices. Chapter 9 covers electro-optic waveguides, switches, and modulators. There is a description of stripline and

his slim volume is an extensive review of the current understanding of the response of nanostructured materials to extreme operating conditions, such as high temperature, flux of
high-energy neutrons, high pressure, mechanical stress, and oxidizing environments. The emphasis is on metallic materials, especially Cu alloys. Graphene-based materials, fullerenes,
resonant electro-optic device structures. There are detailed closed-form solutions of light propagation in slab waveguides and one-dimensional photonic crystal
