摘要
A long-standing prediction is that the refractive index of organic materials possessing extended electron conjugation can be changed instantaneously by exposure to light, making them attractive for all-optical signal processing. At present only a few of the polydiacetylenes and poly(p-phenylenevinylene)s seem to have properties adequate for this application.
