structures whose order can be frozen by photopolymerization. Homeotropic alignment was chosen which offers decisive advantages compared to other geometries. All parameters contributing to the
conversion efficiency are maximized by deliberately controlling the supramolecular arrangement.The system has the potential to achieve practical level of performances as a frequency doubler for low power laser-diodes.详细>
