Abstract
In order to be useful for electro-optic devices, nonlinear optical chr omophores must be thermally stable, highly transparent, and have large hyperpolarizabilities. Although these qualities are to some extent mu tually exclusive, a small group of chromophores has been prepared that meets the various criteria for applicability.
