Abstract
Optical Kerr shutter (OKS) effect of organic microcrystals of J-aggregated merocyanine and two kinds of polydiacetylenes in water as dispersion was investigated. Though actual χ(3) values are in the order of 10-13 to 10-12 esu, these normalized by concentration are 10-9 esuM-1, suggesting that organic microcrystal dispersion is one of the promising materials for OKS if the dispersion concentration can be increased.
