A High‐Optical Quality Supramolecular Assembly for Third‐Order Integrated Nonlinear Optics

A high-quality organic thin film for integrated nonlinear optics is produced by molecular beam deposition of a compact molecule that has a high specific third-order polarizability. The resulting dense, homogenous, amorphous supramolecular assembly with a large third-order nonlinearity and high-optical quality enables novel applications in integrated nonlinear optics.
