(Prior Art and Problems) In the field of optoelectronics, there has been a wide search for new elements that utilize nonlinear optical effects. For example, by utilizing the second-order nonlinear optical effect, the wavelength of a semiconductor laser can be shortened, and high-density optical recording is possible. Organic compounds are attracting attention as materials for this purpose due to their stability, large nonlinear optical constants, and ease of obtaining crystals.

In addition, there are some compounds that do not generate second harmonics because the symmetry of the crystal is not disrupted in the crystalline state, but by dispersing these materials in polymers and performing a poling process, waveguide-type second harmonics can be generated. Attempts have also been made to create generator elements. However, this method has not been put to practical use because there is no material with a wide transparent region and a large nonlinear optical constant.
