Photonics is being labelled by many as the technology for the 21st
century. Because of the structural flexibility both at the
molecular and bulk levels, organic materials are emerging as a very
important class of nonlinear optical materials to be used for
generating necessary nonlinear optical functions for the technology
of photonics. Since the last NATO advanced research workshop on
"Polymers for Nonlinear Optics"held in June 1988, at Nice - Sophia
Antipolis, France. there has been a tremendous growth of interest
worldwide and important development in this field. Significant
progress has been made in theoretical modeling, material
development, experimental studies and device concepts utilizing
organic materials. These important recent developments provided the
rationale for organizing the workshop on "Organic Materials for
Nonlinear Optics and Photonics" which was held in La Rochelle,
France, in August 1990. This proceeding is the outcome of the
workshop held in La Rochelle. The objective of the workshop was to
bring together scientists and engineers of varied backgrounds
working in this field in order to assess the current status of this
field by presenting significant recent developments and make
recommendations on future directions of research. The workshop was
multidisciplinary as it had contributions from chemists,
physicists, materials scientists and device engineers. The
participants were both from industries and universities. The
workshop included plenary lectures by leading international
scientists in this field, contributed research papers and a poster
session. Panel discussion groups were organized to summarize
important developments and to project future directions.
Photonics, the counterpart of electronics, involves the usage of
Photons instead of electrons to process information and perform
various switching operations. Photonics is projected to be the
technology of the future because of the gain in speed, processing
and interconnectivity of network. Nonlinear optical processes will
play the key role in photonics Where they can be used for frequency
conversion, optical switching and modulation. Organic molecules and
polymers have emerged as a new class of highly promising nonlinear
optical materials Which has captured the attention of scientists
world wide. The organic systems offer the advantage of large
nonresonant nonlinearities derived from the 1T electrons
contribution, femtosecond response time and the flexibility to
modify their molecular structures. In addition, organic polymers
can easily be fabricated in various device structures compatible
with the fiber-optics communication system. The area of nonlinear
optics of organic molecules and polymers offers exciting
opportunities for both fundamental research and technologic
development. It is truly an interdisciplinary area. This proceeding
is the outcome of the first NATO Advanced Research WOrkshop in this
highly important area. The objective of the workshop was to provide
a forum for scientists of varying background from both universities
and industries to come together and interface their expertize. The
scope of the workshop was multidisciplinary with active
participations from Chemists, physicists, engineers and materials
scientists from many countries.
