The development of nonlinear optical materials for light manipulation has been an area of interest for the US Air Force for over three decades. Here we cover details on the development of several classes of organic nonlinear optical materials including platinum acetylides, AFX dyes, combined platinum acetylide with AFX dyes, porphyrins, and phthalocyanines. A deep understanding of photophysical behavior through spectroscopic measurements of these materials drives our understanding of the nonlinear behavior. Some of this will be touched on briefly for the various classes of materials. Lastly, we explore the effects of incorporating nonlinear dyes into solid host matrices to see how the photophysical properties are affected and how this does lead to changes in the nonlinear properties.
