Covers recent progress and developments on the electroluminescent and photoluminescent properties of fullerene, chelate metal compounds, polythiophenes, poly (p-phylene vinylenes), polyxadiazoles, poly (vinyl carbazoles), polysilanes and many other organic materials. A wide range of organic electroluminescent materials and their based technologies are discussed by leading experts working in industry and academic institutes. The current status of this field is reviewed in state-of-the-art chapters providing specified applications with examples. Electroluminescent materials glow in a full...

The field of nonlinear optics emerged three decades ago with the development of the first operating laser and the demonstration of frequency doubling phenomena. These milestone discoveries not only generated much interest in laser science, but also set the stage for future work on nonlinear optics. This book presents an excellent overview of the exciting new advances in nonlinear optical (NLO) materials and their applications in emerging photonics technologies. It is the first reference source available to cover every NLO material published through 1995. All theoretical approaches,...
