Abstract
The ability of nonlinear optical materials to transmit, process and st ore information forms the basis of emerging optoelectronic and photoni c technologies. Organic chromophore-containing polymers, in which the refractive Index can be controlled by light or an electric field, are expected to play an Important role.
