Abstract

In one embodiment this invention provides a nonlinear optical medium consisting of a solid solution of components comprising (1) a thermoplastic polymer such as poly(methyl acrylate/butyl acrylate); (2) a first organic compound which exhibits nonlinear optical response such as 4-amino-4'-nitrostilbene; and (3) a second organic compound such as methyl acrylate which complexes with and enhances the nonlinear optical response of the first organic compound.
