Abstract
A new series of dyes for nonlinear optical (NLO) and photorefractive (PR) a pplications investigated by optical and electrooptical absorption spectrosc opy. Optimized PR and NLO chromophores are obtained based on the exceptiona lly strong heterocyclic thiazolidenemalononitrile acceptor unit, combined w ith the proper choice of electron donor unit and conjugation length.
