Abstract

A nonlinear nanocomposite optical-element comprising a first nanocomposite. The first nanocomposite comprising one or more optically nonlinear (NLO) nanofillers. The NLO nanofillers exhibiting dispersed in a cured organic matrix, the NLO nanofillers exhibiting a high level of one or more high order nonlinear susceptibilities. A second nanocomposite, the second nanocomposite different with respect to the nanofiller type, nanofiller concentration, organic-host, or combinations thereof. Wherein the distribution of the first nanocomposite-ink and second nanocomposite-ink result in a nanofiller gradient within the optical-element.
