Abstract
Processing polymers near room temperature to produce all-polymeric nonlinear optical films has important advantages [1]. For example, the Langmuir-Blodgett-Kuhn (LBK) technique offers control over final film thickness to within one monolayer. Also, materials may be precisely located within the film to control properties for purposes such as phase matching of the fundamental and second harmonic waveguide modes [2].
