Synthesis of Colloidal Photonic Crystals with High Nonlinear Optical Performance: Towards Efficient Second‐Harmonic Generation with Centrosymmetric Structures

Abstract

Chemically modified colloidal photonic crystals with high nonlinear optical performance have been prepared by a novel, very efficient solid-phase based synthesis, opening up a new field of nonlinear optical second-harmonic Generation with centrosymmetric organic structures (see figure).
