The growth, perfection and structural properties of organic electro-optic materials

Abstract

Studies are outlined which have led to the production of large samples, of dimensions 2-10 cm, of organic electro-optic materials. The perfection of these is defined. The influence of lattice imperfections on the evaluation of fundamental physical parameters related to electro-optic device behaviour is discussed. The materials produced by these methods are of a quality and performance suited to their use as commercial electro-optic devices.
