Abstract
Multilayer thin films based on metal-bisphosphonate chemistry which possess nonlinear optical (NLO) activity are discussed. Films are prepared in a st ep-wise fashion using a chromophore-containing asymmetric alpha,omega-bisph osphonate molecule. Second harmonic generation from these films is reported as a function of number of layers on glass and silicon substrates.
