The present invention relates to a non-linear optical material having a
dendrimer structure; and, more particularly, to a non-linear optical
material having organic chromophores at the ends and formed based on
ester linkages and/or ether linkages. Since the non-linear optical
material of the present invention is formed based on ester linkages
and/or ether linkages, it is very stable. Also, because it is a dendrimer
structure, it has the properties of a polymer while having a strong
connection ability at the ends, and this makes the non-linear optical
material easily adopt organic chromophores easily. As it is stable
thermally and optically, it can be applied to optical communication
usefully.
