Nonlinear optical properties of single-wall carbon nanotubes and organic nanohybrids: enhancement through double resonance, coherent addition and symmetry breaking. University of Antwerp
Organic nonlinear optics (NLO) deals with the nonlinear response of organic molecular materials exposed to intense light beams, with prospective applications in optical telecommunication based on ultrafast switches and modulators, and highly efficient frequency convertors. In this research project, novel approaches will be examined to significantly amplify the molecular NLO response, in particular: (i) doubly (one- and twophoton) resonant ...
