Quantum-Chemical Investigations of Second- and Third-Order Nonlinear Optical Chromophores for Electro-Optic and All-Optical Switching Applications

The past decades have witnessed the development of new materials with large nonlinear optical properties, which have made them attractive candidats for a broad spectrum of breakthrough applications in the electro-optic and photonic fields (e.g., telecommunication and computing). A deeper understandi...
