Integrated Linear and Nonlinear Optics with Novel Macromolecular Systems

ABSTRACTThis paper deals with the application of some recently developed evanescent waveoptical techniques for the characterization of novel macromolecular host-guest systems. In particular, surface plasmon- and guided optical wave-spectroscopies and -microscopies are used to determine the linear and nonlinear optical properties of these materials in thin film form.
