β¦ Synopsis
Dedicated to Professor Wolfgang Hilger on the occasion of his 60th birthday
Basic principles of the present optoelectronic research activities at Hoechst AG are presented in this contribution. Within the diversified broad band spectrum of optoelectronic materials and applications our interest is focused on new types of polymer optical fibers and nonlinear optical device principles using organic Langmuir-Blodgett films and electrically poled polymers. The basic principles and the limits of the present research and development activities which have a high market potential are outlined.

Nonlinear optical (NLO) materials provide the basis for an array of active optical devices under development throughout several high technology industries. Applications would include communications, data storage, and computing. Active optical devices can be used to alter light in order to encode or
We discuss two aspects of nonlinear propagation of fiber gratings. The first of these is grating solitons, which were recently observed experimentally. Grating solitons exist because of the balancing of nonlinearity and grating dispersion. The second is the nonlinear interaction occuring when a stro
