Abstract
During the last decade, efforts have been focused on optimizing electro-optic coefficients as well as on search for a reliable configuration of electro-optic devices. There have been reported a few configurations of optical waveguides made from organic material.1-6 To our best knowledge, there was no indication that structures fabricated were suitable for device fabrication. In the following, we give description of a method used for fabrication of thin single crystalline organic films. We call it plate-guided (PG) method, and have applied it to grow thin films of numerous organic compounds. In this communication, we report fabrication of meta-nitroaniline (mNA) thin single crystalline films and their nonlinear optical properties. Data on other compounds will be published elsewhere.
