The linear electro-optic (EO) effect is one of the second-order nonlinear optical effects existing in a noncentrosymmetric macroscopic system. In a polymer thin film, the noncentrosymmetry is achieved by electric field poling. The magnitude of the linear EO response is determined through the orientational distribution function of hyperpolarizable molecular dipoles. The relation between the linear EO coefficient and the second-order nonlinear optical susceptibility is explained. Three different methods of measuring the linear EO coefficient of a poled nonliner optical polymer thin film are introduced and discussed. All of them make use of the interferometric technique, the difference being in the optical parameters which are interfering.

This paper studies various roughness parameters, besides waviness, texture, and nonlinear parameters of Bismarck brown Y (BBY)-doped Poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) films based on the computed values of optical limiting (OL) threshold power and nonlinear refractive index. The films' morphology, grain size, and absorption spectra were investigated using atomic force microscopy in conjunction with ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectrophotometer. The particle size of the films ranged between 4.11-4.51 mm and polymer films showed good homogeneity and medium roughness, ranging from 1.11-4.58 mm. A polymer film's third-order nonlinear optical features were carried out using the Z-scan methodology. The measurements were obtained by a continuous wave produced from a solid-state laser with a 532 nm wavelength. According to the results, BBY has a nonlinear refractive index of 10^-6 cm²/W that is significantly negative and nonlinear. The optical limiting thresholds are roughly 10.29, 13.52, and 18.71 mW, respectively. The shift of nonlinear optical features with the film's concentration was found throughout the experiment Additionally, we found that the polymer samples have outstanding capabilities for restricting the amount of optical power that may be transmitted through them. We propose that these films have the potential to be used in a wide variety of optoelectronic applications, including optical photodetectors and optical switching.

The second-order nonlinear optical effect, especially the second harmonic generation, in Langmuir-Blodgett(LB) films have get much attention over the past few years. For second harmonic generation(SHG) of the ultrathin organic films, the multilayer structure of the film should have the noncentrosymmetric arrangements of molecules. The Langmuir-Blodgett technique can result in the production of thin films of precisely controlled dimensions and structure. In this paper, n-octadecyl 4-(4'-nitrophenylazo)-1-naphthyl ether, ONNE(azohenzene derivative), was synthesized and the optical properties of ONNE was studied. Nonccntrosymmctric Z-type LB films of ONNE were prepared and SHG intensity of the film were measured. The structural characteristics of floating monolayer(L film) and LB film of ONNE were discussed with $\pi$-A isotherm. UV-visible absorption spectroscopy and spectroscopic ellipsometry. The polarized UV-visible absorption spectroscopy and SHO intensity suggest the molecular orientation in LB film.

We have investigated a method to measure the refractive index, coherence length, and the third order nonlinear optical susceptibility ($x^{(3)}$) of the conducting polymer film. ($x^{(3)}$) of polymer film was obtained, by comparing Maker fringe of polymer film with that of fused quartz, and by calculating the correction factor due to the linear refractive index. The linear refractive index of polymer film was determined from the envelopes of the maxima and minima in the transmission spectrum. Poly ((1,4-phenylenevinylene$)_{0.34}$-co-(2-methoxy-1,4-phen ylene vinylene$)_{0.66}$) [PP$V_{0.34}$-PMP$V_{0.66}$] thin film was prepared by spin coating method. From transmission spectrum and Maker fringe data, we found that the refractive index, coherence length, and the third order nonlinear optical susceptibility ($x^{(3)}$) of the [PP$V_{0.34}$-PMP$V_{0.66}$] are 1.786, 17.86 ${\mu}m$ and 5.8${\times}10^{-12}$esu, respectively.

$TiO_2$films of rutile and anatase phase have been prepared on silica glass substrates by the sol-gel method using $Ti(i-OC_3H_7)_4$. The effect of additives on the polymorph of $TiO_2$film has been examined in view of degree of crystallization. Third-order nonlinear optical properties of the both film have been investigated by the third harmonic generation method. The measured 3rd order nonlinear optical susceptibility of rutile and anatase thin films were about $1.4{\times}10^{-12}$ and $9.7{\times}10^{-13}$ esu, respectively.
