Abstract

An optical article is disclosed containing contiguously overlying an organic layer for the nonlinear propagation of electromagnetic radiation an amorphous transmission enhancement layer of at least 0.5 .mu.m in thickness transmissive to the nonlinearly propagated electromagnetic radiation, exhibiting a refractive index less than that of the organic layer, and comprised of a low molecular weight aromatic compound.
