Abstract:
The present work emphasizes the use of chirality as an efficient tool to synthesize
new types of second order nonlinear materials. Second harmonic generation efficiency
(SHG) is used as a measure of second order nonlinear response. Nonlinear optical
properties of polymers have been studied theoretically and experimentally. Polymers
were designed theoretically by ab initio and semiempirical calculations. All the
polymeric systems have been synthesized by condensation polymerization. Second
harmonic generation efficiency of the synthesized systems has been measured
experimentally by Kurtz and Perry powder method
