Special Issue on Nonlinear-Optic Waveguide Materials and Devices. Polymer Materials for Third-Order Nonlinear-Optical Devices.

Photonic Materials and Devices

Our recent advances in solid-state optoelectronic materials and devices will be reviewed. In the area of glass optics, fabrication of novel microstructured and multi-core fibers and their use in realizing single mode lasers will be summarized. In organic and plastic optics, photorefractive polymers for 3D display applications and nonlinear optical polymers for high speed modulators in RF photon...

NONLINEAR SUPERCONDUCTING DEVICES AND HIGH - Te MATERIALS

We IHC'senl spatially re.l:lotved st.udies of vortex dynalnics in two-diInclIsional Joscphson-jullctioll arrays For bias currents smaller than the array critical current, a small local thermal perturbation at the array boundaries lowers the vortex entry barrier and the array switches to the resistive state. For bias currents slightly above the array critical furrent., vortices and antiyortices ...

All-optical Processes in Integrated Optical Devices Using Materials with Large Third-order Nonlinearities and Gain

Nonlinear optical materials.

The current state of materials development in nonlinear optics is summarized, and the promise of these materials is critically evaluated. Properties and important materials constants of current commercial materials and of new, promising, inorganic and organic molecular and polymeric materials with potential in second- and third-order nonlinear optical applications are presented.
