Summary form only given. Four examples of nonlinear optical effects are briefly described. The first of these is the presence of both the Pockels effect and optical activity in Bi/sub 12/SiO/sub 20/. As a second example, a polyisocyanate random copolymer containing an asymmetric chiral center and Disperse-Red-1 nonlinear optical chromophores is synthesized. Next, the induced chirality of a nonlinear optical chromophore and the chiral chitosan polymer complex is investigated for a potential candidate as a second order NLO material. Finally, a bent-shaped liquid crystal is introduced to study the electro-gyration effect.
