Synopsis
The discussions presented in Photoactive Materials: Science and Applications are grouped around three main aspects: (i) molecular engineering; (ii) electroluminescence and photorefractive effects; and (iii) nonlinear optical material response. Progress, problems and possible developments are clearly described.
The main topics covered (albeit with some overlap) are: Theoretical considerations; nonlinear optical effects and applications; photorefractivity, photochromism and electroluminescence; molecular engineering, material processing, characterization and molecular electronics applications; new effects and phenomena.

Proceedings of the June 1995 workshop, focusing on organic materials and their specific responses to the light beam in view of their exploitation in devices. Highlights include discussion of progress in organic light-emitted diodes, photorefractive polymers, electro-optic modulation for transmission of information by light beam, and developments in materials including high glass transition temperature polymers and chiral and octupolar molecules with enhanced nonlinear optical response. Includes sections on theoretical considerations; nonlinear optical effects and applications; photorefractivity, photochromism, and electroluminescence; molecular engineering, material processing, characterization, and molecular electronics applications; and new effects and phenomena.
