Abstract: The present invention is directed, in general, to nonlinear optical chromophores having an indolizine donor group. Various embodiments of the present invention include nonlinear optical chromophores with indolizine donor group having an indolizine donor connected to a II-bridge group. In various preferred embodiments of the present invention, the indolizine donor groups may be substituted or unsubstituted, including hydro and alkyl substituents, aryl substituents and combination thereof. In certain embodiments of the present invention, the substituent moieties in the indolizine donor groups may be important for isolation. The isolation may reduce chromophore-chromophore interaction. The isolation may reduce charge transfer between molecules. The isolation may increase maximum applied voltage, which may contribute to more optimal poling and higher r33.
