Reviews

In the lingo of specialists, optical polymers are polymer based materials whose refractive index depends on the intensity of the light (NLO: non-linear optics)... Three contributions are reviews. . . . The remaining contributions look and read like original research papers, complete with experimental sections. . . . The first two papers mentioned in this review give the novice a good introduction into the field. The remaining papers may appeal to specialists. --Polymer News<br>
