Minority Career Advancement Award - Nonlinear Response of Polymers in the Near Infrared

9311608沃尔瑟研究有机材料的光学非线性响应的大小和驰豫时间是必要的，原因有两个：确定光学非线性响应在潜在应用中的适用性，以及提供关于非线性光学响应机制的基本知识。具有大而快的非线性系数的共轭有机体系因其在光电子学、位相共轭、动态全息和光学计算等方面的潜在应用，最近引起了电子工程界的兴趣。***

9311608 Walser The study of the magnitude and relaxation time of the optical nonlinear response of organic materials is essential for two reasons: to determine the suitability of the optical nonlinearities for potential applications, and to provide basic knowledge concerning the mechanisms of the nonlinear optical response. Conjugated organic systems with large and fast nonlinear coefficients have recently attracted to interest of the electrical engineering community because of their potential applications in optoelectronics, phase conjugation, dynamic holography and optical computing. ***
