Description
Summary: | This book examines recent progress in the development and application of optical polymers, molecular crystals, crystals in liquids and liquid crystals. The accomplishment of a high macroscopic polarization is a key issue throughout which transcends the design and performance criteria of optical materials. The chapters included in this volume focus on orientation order and the achievement of macroscopic polarizations.
