We first discuss the materials research which includes monomer synthesis, growth of monomer crystalline structures and polymerization in the solid state, yielding the requisite polymer structures. Next, the nonlinear optical experimental research is discussed which includes a novel experimental technique to measure x (w). Linear and nonlinear optical data obtained for the polydiacetylene films is subsequently presented. Detailed theoretical analysis relating the data to x (< >) and subsequently to its molecular basis will be discussed in a later publication. 

Linear and nonlinear optical properties of a class of polydiacetylenes that can be grown as large area and controlled thickness thin films have been investigated. This involved an integrated research effort including monomer synthesis, thin film growth and new measurement techniques.

The synthesis and characterization of polyacetylene (PA) provided new incentive for understanding 7r-electronic spectra, electron-phonon interactions and electronic correlations[l, 2, 14]. The electrical conductivity of chemically doped PA rivals that of metals. Families in Fig. 2 such as polydiacetylenes (PDAs), poly thiophenes (PTs), cr-conjugated polysilane (PSs) and polyparaphenylene vinylene (PPVs), among...
