The design, synthesis, and characterization of polymethine dyes for all-optical signal processing applications

Material development is necessary before all-optical signal processing (AOSP) can be realized. Traditional AOSP will require materials with a large magnitude of the real part of the third-order polarizability, while having a small imaginary magnitude of third-order polarizability. The aim of this...
