Film composed of at least one monomolecular layer

Abstract

Abstract A film for use in non-linear optics is composed of at least one Langmuir-Blodgett film, the film containing a dye of the formula <IMAGE> in which R<1> is a long-chain alkoxy, acyloxy, alkylamino or acylamino group, or is composed of this dye. The film, especially if it contains alternating layers of unsaturated amphiphilic compounds, produces a stable multilayer having good non-linear optical properties and is suitable, for example, for electrooptical switches, diode/laser frequency amplifiers or optical parametric amplifiers. <??>In addition to the dye mentioned, the monomolecular film can contain at least one other second amphiphilic compound, in which case the monomolecular film is composed of amphiphilic compounds.
