Preferred Label : non-linear optical polymer;
IUPAC definition : Polymer that exhibits an optical effect brought about by electromagnetic radiation
such that the magnitude of the effect is not proportional to the irradiance.;
Scope note : a polymer that exhibits a non-linear optical effect due to anisotropic electric susceptibilities
when subjected to electric field together with light irradiation is called an electro-optical
polymer. a polymer that exhibits electro-optical behavior combined with photoconductivity
is called a photo-refractive polymer.; an example of non-linear optical effects is the generation of higher harmonics of
the incident light wave.; non-linear optical effect.;
