Study of nonlinear optical and structural properties of organometallic complexes
In the frame of this work, we studied organometallic complexes in form of thin films oriented by corona poling. We report measurements of second and third-order nonlinear optical properties (NLO) obtained by SHG and THG techniques. For each compound studied, we determine the electronic contribution of the effective second and third-order nonlinear susceptibilities. Finally, we use X-ray diffraction to study structure of these compounds, induced by corona poling.
