Abstract:

The 1990 OGAMM symposium was held at the Keswick Hotel in Keswick-on-Derwentwater, England from 4 to 7 September 1990. The OGAMM program is a highly collaborative multidisciplinary effort of about 20 US and European groups. It is designed to provide the technology base needed for the development of devices based on multifunctional materials. Because these devices are generally aimed at imaging, detecting, photonics, tracking, and communications systems, there is a strong emphasis on combining various nonlinear optical, electrical, thermal and mechanical properties. Reported advances in the ability to form reproducible pure samples of OGAMM materials, in theoretical modeling of their properties and behavior, and in refinement of techniques for measuring a range of properties have led to greater quantification in the understanding of these materials and their behavior. A world leading capability to characterize optical, electro optical, and NLO propertiesmaterials has been developed within the group and has become readily accessible to all participants in the OGAMM program.
