Assignee: LIGHTWAVE LOGIC, INC.
Field: Basic materials chemistry (Chemistry)
Classification: CPC C  G | IPC C  G

Claim 1:
2. A nonlinear optical chromophore of the general formula (I):

D-π-A  (I), wherein D represents an organic electron-donating group; A represents an organic electron-accepting group having an electron affinity greater than the electron affinity of D; and π represents a π-bridge between the organic electron-accepting group and the organic electron-donating group; wherein the π-bridge between the organic electron-accepting group and the organic electron-donating group has the following formula (IId):, wherein each Y independently represents a sulfur linked aryl group of the following formula (II2):, wherein each a and b independently represents an integer of 0 to 3; and z represents an integer of 1 to 3;
the nonlinear optical chromophore comprising one or more diamondoids, wherein each of the one or more diamondoids is covalently bound to one of the organic electron-accepting group, or the organic electron-donating group.
