Abstract: Disclosed are organic electrooptic materials. The electrooptic materials are functionalized by novel methods and structures. The electrooptic materials are structured with a head and a tail where the head and tail sequentially assemble into a non-centrosymmetric ordered array. The electrooptic materials are further structured in covalently bonded dimer pairs where one of the pairs is zwitterionic. The non-centrosymmetric ordered array bonds directly to electrodes which allows for efficient application of the electric field. The organic electrooptic materials disclosed offer greater hyperpolarizability, greater bandwidth, reduced operating voltage with less optical loss.

Abstract: A method of vector magnetic resonance measuring and imaging and associated apparatus provide for a specimen being placed in a main magnetic field, RF pulses being impinged thereon, and magnetic field gradients being superimposed thereupon, preferably with three input gradient pulses being impinged preferably simultaneously to construct a balanced system of four gradient vectors having equally strong moments Four cycles of such input gradient pulses are employed to create four magnetic gradient moments from which velocity or motion vectors are created. A receiver obtains signals from a specimen and converts them into information which is introduced into a computer. The computer converts the signals sensitized by the gradient vector moments into motional-type vector information which can be measured and imaged. Different approaches may be taken for low velocity and high velocity usages.
