Nonlinear Optical Chromophores with High Steric Hinderance Substituents for Electro-Optic Devices
Summary
Lightwave Logic, Inc. published patent application US20260098206A1 covering nonlinear optical (NLO) chromophores with donors having high steric hindrance substituents, compositions/materials comprising such chromophores, and methods of making and using them in electro-optic devices. The application includes methods of drying and poling, and uses in EOMs. Inventors: Ginelle A. Ramann, Barry L. Johnson, Harvey F. Fulo, Will D. Mikkelsen-Yi.
What changed
Lightwave Logic published patent application US20260098206A1 covering nonlinear optical chromophores containing donors with high steric hindrance substituents. The application encompasses compositions, materials, resistive layers comprising such chromophores, and methods of making, drying, and poling them. Uses in electro-optic devices (EOMs) are also claimed.
Manufacturers developing or producing NLO chromophores or electro-optic devices should monitor this application's prosecution. Patent publication does not guarantee grant; applicants may face rejections requiring amendments. Successful prosecution would give Lightwave Logic exclusive rights to the claimed compositions and methods in the US for 20 years from the filing date.
