Totally Integrated Material Engineering System
This patent covers material integration structures under a design strategy known as Totally Integrated Material Engineering.
These integration structures provide for the “wrapping” of the core molecule in sterically hindering groups that maximally protect the molecule from environmental threats and maximally protect it from microscopic aggregation (which is a major cause of performance degradation and optical loss) within a minimal molecular volume.
These structures also provide for the integration of polymerizable groups for integration of materials into a highly stable cross-linked material matrix.
Heterocyclical Steric Hindering System
This patent describes a nitrogenous heterocyclical structure for the integration of steric hindering groups that are necessary for the nanoscale material integration.
Due to the [pi]-orbital configuration of the nitrogen bridge, this structure has been demonstrated not to interfere with the conductive nature of the electronic conductive pathway and thus is non-disruptive to the nonlinear optic character of the core molecular construction.
The quantum mechanical design of the system is designed to establish complete molecular planarity (flatness) for optimal performance.
Heterocyclical Anti-Aromatic Systems
Two provisional patents cover heterocyclical anti-aromatic electronic conductive pathways that are the heart of the high-performance, high-stability molecular designs. The completely heterocyclical nature of the molecular designs “lock” conductive atomic orbitals into a planar (flat) configuration, which provides improved electronic conduction and a significantly lower reaction to environmental threats (e.g. thermal, chemical, photochemical, etc.) than the BLA design paradigm employed by other competitive nonlinear optic polymers.
The anti-aromatic nature of these structures dramatically improves the “zwitterionic-aromatic push-pull” of the systems, providing for low energy charge transfer. Low energy charge transfer is important for the production of extremely high nonlinear optic character.
