r33 = N<cos3>(constant)
Loading Parameter = N<cos3> = (r33/)(constant)
r33 = electro-optic coefficient
N = chromophore number density (molecules/cc)
= molecular first hyperpolarizability
N<cos3> = acentric order parameter
*The constant depends on the dielectric properties of the
material lattice
Optimization of Electro-Optic Activity
Macroscopic Level
Electro-optic activity requires noncentrosymmetric
chromophore symmetry, i.e., <cos3> must be large
Requires optimization of N<cos3>
*Statistical mechanics is the key

Summary
Values of electro-optic activity greater than 300 pm/V (an order
of magnitude greater than the commercial standard lithium
niobate) have been realized for both single and multi-
chromophore-containing dendrimers
