Abstract
The present invention provides a non-linear optical material having an excellent non-linear optical effect which is insusceptible to modification of a cuprous halide incorporated therein. The present invention also provides a process which enables the preparation of such a non-linear optical material at a low temperature by means of a simple apparatus. The non-linear optical material of the present invention exhibits a nonlinear response to incident light and comprises a particulate cuprous halide dispersed in a matrix, said particulate cuprous halide having been separated out with the reaction of a functional group contained in a matrix-forming substance having a functional group, wherein said matrix contains a compound for inhibiting the modification of said cuprous halide. The preparation of the non-linear optical material of the present invention can be accomplished by a process which comprises mixing a mixture of a matrix-forming substance having a functional group and a compound for inhibiting the modification of a cuprous halide with a cuprous halide to form a uniform solution, and then allowing said functional group to undergo reaction to form a matrix while causing a particulate cuprous halide to separate out in said matrix.
