Abstract
The method of the present invention for making a non-linear optical polymer layer has the steps of (a) flash evaporating a coating material monomer having a plurality of non-linear optical molecules as an evaporate; (b) cryocondensing the evaporate on a surface; and (c) crosslinking the cryocondensed evaporate. The surface may be electrically biased for poling during crosslinking.

A method of making a non-linear optical polymer layer, comprising the steps of:
- (a) providing a liquid monomer having a plurality of non-linear optical molecules;
- (b) flash evaporating the liquid monomer forming an evaporate;
- and
- (c) continuously cryocondensing the evaporate on a cool substrate and cross linking a cryocondensed monomer layer thereby forming the non-linear optical polymer layer.
