Abstract :
We have studied the nonlinear optical properties of Langmuir–Blodgett films of several chiral 1,1′-binaphthyl-based helical polymers. We have studied the nonlinear optical properties and the quality of the Langmuir–Blodgett films. One of the compounds forms high-quality Langmuir–Blodgett films with a high nonlinear susceptibility that remains stable in time. We show that an important part of the nonlinear susceptibility is only allowed by the chirality of the film.
