Abstract
There is considerable interest in organic materials for nonlinear optical applications because of their demonstrated large second-order nonlinearities,1 One newly discovered material,2 3-methyl-4-methoxy-4′-nitrostilbene (MMONS) exhibits one of the largest powder second harmonic generation signal (~1250 X urea), which suggests that it may be of potential interest for device applications. We present here progress in the development of this material, including single crystal growth and the determination of its linear and nonlinear optical properties.
