Abstract

Stabilizing Langmuir–Blodgett (LB) films: Laser irradiation accelerates πdimerization of hemicyanine nonlinear optical chromophores in monolayer LB films andcauses degradation of their second harmonic generation capability. The metastability of the film is overcome effectively by polyelectrolyte templating. Nanoscopic characterization of the ultrathin films reveals the impact of the polyelectrolyte.
