This new book describes a new strategy for the preparation of nonlinear optical devices based on the silver nanoparticles and the conjugated polymer, polydiacetylene (PDA), owing to the surface plasmon resonance of silver nanoparticles. It is worth nothing that nano metal exhibited the enhancement of NLO properties induced by quantum confinement effect.

The large picosecond optical nonlinear of Au and Ag colloids surrounded by water or glass have been reported. For the most part, however, inorganic nonlinear materials are different to modify compared with organic nonlinear materials. Therefore, characteristic interactions between exciton, plasmon and their resonance effect in the hybridized systems between organic microcrystals and inorganic nano fine particles would make it possible to exhibit novel optical properties.
