Blue light of 0.15mW at 417.6nm is generated in a quasi-phase-matched LITaO$_{3}$ optical waveguide. A new heat-treatment technique using a metal-oxide mask is proposed to fabricate the periodic domain-inverted grating with less degraded optical properties. The mask promotes the proton indiffusion by inhibition of the proton outdiffusion during the heat treatment. It reduces the amount of the initial proton exchange for the domain inversion and prevents the formation of crystal defects on the surface accompanied by the proton outdiffusion. Consequently, it minimizes the degradation of nonlinear coefficient and scattering loss caused by the initial proton exchange.

Since theoretical investigations of gas phase clusters enable the evaluation of intrinsic molecular properties and intermolecular interactions, one can predict the macroscopic properties of bulk matter, from a microscopic determination of the properties of individual atoms, molecules, or clusters. Based on the insights obtained from theoretical investigations of the properties of a large number of cluster systems (ranging from simple water clusters to large π-systems), we have investigated the properties of various novel molecular systems including endo/exohedral fullerenes, nanotori, nonlinear optical materials, ionophores/receptors, polypeptides, enzymes, organic nanotubes, nanowires, and electronic and nano-mechanical molecular devices. The present minireview highlights some of the interesting results obtained in the course of our extensive theoretical investigations of clusters and nanomaterials.

The growth characteristics and properties of large size $SrAlF_5$ single crystals are described and compared with those of $BaMgF_4$. Transmission spectra in the vacuum ultraviolet wavelength region indicate a high transparency of $SrAlF_5$ (about 90% without considering surface reflection loses) down to 150 nm, on contrast to the optical loses observed for $BaMgF_4$. The ferroelectric character of $SrAlF_5$ is evidenced by the reversal of the spontaneous polarization in a hysteresis loop. The higher potential of $SrAlF_5$ in comparison with $BaMgF_4$ for the realization of all-solid-state lasers in the ultraviolet wavelength region by the quasi-phase matching (QPM) technique is pointed out. $SrAlF_5$, besides a higher grade of transparency, shows a nonlinear effective coefficient similar to that of quartz and uniaxial nature, on contrast to the one order smaller nonlinear coefficient and biaxial character of $BaMgF_4$. The refractive index of $SrAlF_5$ from the ultraviolet to the near-infrared wavelength region is measured by the minimum deviation method. The Sellmeier and Cauchy coefficients are obtained from the fits to the curves of the ordinary and extraordinary refractive indices, and the grating period for the first order QPM is estimated as a function of the wavelength. The poling periodicity for 193 nm SHG from 386 nm is $4{\mu}m$.

The Ce, Mn: $LiTaO_3$ crystals were grown by Czochralski method in congruent ${\varphi}$3＂ $LiTaO_3$ single crystal growing conditions. Concentrations of Ce and Mn in melt were respectively 0.1 mole%. As-grown crystals were red, transparent and the grown crystals were tested with oxidation/reduction treatment for clor and other properties. Influence of Ce and Mn dopants on $LiTaO_3$ crystal properties was discussed. And the nonlinear optical properties of the Ce, Mn: $LiTaO_3$ crystal are being studied.

A large dispersion value in optical fiber cable should be maintained to suppress the nonlinear effect induced distortion for the narrow channel spaced DWDM system while small value of dispersion is needed for high bit rate transmission. To meet these two requirement simultaneously, dispersion distribution control method during the cabling process was exploited. And dispersion distribution cable was fabricated by the way of designing alternation sections in single cable piece with standard single mode fiber(SSMF) and newly developed negative dispersion fiber(NDF). It is shown that the discretely dispersion varying cable along the axis keep the same average dispersion value of an entire cable length as that of nonzero dispersion shifted fiber(NZDSF) with 3.6 ps/km/nm while the local dispersion is around 17 ps/km/nm of absolute value. Moreover, the developed cable had good optical and mechanical properties and the feasibility of this cable for practical use was confirmed.

2,3-Di-(2'-hydroxyethoxy)-4'-nitrostilbene (3) was prepared and condensed with terephthaloyl chloride, adipoyl chloride, and sebacoyl chloride to yield novel Y-type polyesters (4-6) containing the NLO-chromophores 2,3-dioxynitrostilbenyl groups, which constituted parts of the polymer backbones. Polymers 4-6 were soluble in common organic solvents such as acetone and N,N-dimethylformamide. Polymers 4-5 showed thermal stability up to $300^{\circ}C$ in thermogravimetric analysis with glass transition temperatures $(T_g)$, obtained from differential scanning calorimetry, in the range $81-95^{\circ}C$. The second harmonic generation (SHG) coefficients $(d_{33})$ of the poled polymer films at the 1064 nm fundamental wavelength were around $3.68{\times}10^{-9}$ esu. The dipole alignment exhibited high thermal stability up to $T_g$, and there was no SHG decay below $T_g$ due to the partial main-chain character of the polymer structure.

The frequency dependent longitudinal polarizabilities ${\alpha}zz(\omega)$ and the second hyper-polarizabilities ${\gamma}zzzz(\omega)$ of the linear polyenes, $C_4H_6\;to\;C_{30}H_{32}$, have been evaluated using the ab initio time-dependent coupled perturbed Hartree-Fock (TDCPHF) theory with the 6-31G basis set. The ratios of the dynamic properties to the static values have been examined to illustrate the relative dispersion effect and extrapolated to the infinite polymer limit. Also the effect of interchain interaction for linear and nonlinear optical properties has been investigated for $C_4H_6$ and the theoretical discussion has been described to overcome the limitation of ab initio TDHF method in the resonance region.

In this paper, maxwell 3D finite element analysis program (Ansoft) was used to obtain electromagnetic properties associated with the coil and nearby structures. The electromagnetic emitting properties were presented by 3D simulation software operated at 250 kHz and some specific conditions. The electromagnetic field in the ferrite core was shown to be high and symmetric. An LS-100 luminance meter and a Darsa-2000 spectrum analyzer were used in the experiment. According to data on the lamp tested using high magnetic field ferrite, the optical and thermal wave fields were shown to be high around the ring-shaped electrodeless fluorescent lamp. The optical or light field was high at the center of the bulb rather than around the ferrite core. The light conditions of the bulb were assumed to be complex, depending on the condition of the filler gas, the volume of the bulb, and the frequency of the inverter. Our results have shown coupling between the gas plasma and the field of the light emitted to be nonlinear.

The semiempirical time-dependent Hartree-Fock PM3 calculations have been performed on three polyene systems. In order to study the nonlinear optical properties, we calculated the frequency-dependent first-, second-, and third-order polarizabilities of thiophene-, furan-, pyrrole-nitro polyene systems. The PM3 predicted average and longitudinal polarizabilties increase in the order: thiophene- > pyrrole- > furan-nitro polyene systems. The PM3 predicted limiting average second-order polarizabilities show the order: pyrrole- > furan- > thiophene-nitro polyene systems. The average and longitudinal third-order polarizabilties have the following order: pyrrole- > thiophene- > furan-nitro polyene systems. In these trends, we sugest that pyrrole group is the best donor group among the three polyene systems.
