Abstract
The present invention relates to nonlinear optical composites for optical devices such as optical switches and to a method for producing the composites. The composites, comprising optically transparent substances exhibiting linear optical response and metal containing particles dispersed therein, utilize the nonlinear optical effect associated with the surface plasma resonance of a metal.
