Second Order Nonlinear Optics in Ionically Self-Assembled Thin Films

Detailed studies are presented of thin films that self-assemble into the noncentrosymmetric structure required for second order nonlinear optical responses. Second harmonic generation is used as a probe of the second-order nonlinear optical susceptibility (c(2)) of ionic self-assembled monolayer (I...
