非线性光学（NLO）材料可用于各种应用，从电光效应促进的光信号调制（材料的折射率响应于外加电场而变化的效应）到多光子吸收促进的微加工、传感、成像和癌症治疗（其中分子同时吸收两个或更多光子）。这篇简短的Focus文章是对二阶NLO材料和多光子吸收材料的一些关键进展的简要个人观点，以及这些进展如何以及为什么导致了对有机NLO材料的重新兴趣。
Nonlinear optical (NLO) materials can be useful for a variety of applications varying from modulation of optical signals facilitated by the electro-optic effect the effect whereby the refractive index of a material changes in response to an applied electric field - to microfabrication, sensing, imaging, and cancer therapy facilitated by multiphoton absorption, wherein molecules simultaneously absorb two or more photons of light. This short Focus article is a brief personal perspective of some of the key advances in second-order NLO materials and in multiphoton-absorbing materials, and of how and why these advances have led to renewed interest in organic NLO materials.
