Abstract

The one-dimensional electronic delocalization that results from the solid-state polymerization of diacetylenes produces a dramatic enhancement of the optical nonlinearities of these compounds. The third-order susceptibilities of the polymerized crystals reach very high values comparable to those of inorganic semiconductors.
