A material exhibiting third order nonlinear optic properties includes quantum size clusters of semiconducting guest material incorporated into the pores of M41S material in an arrangement to provide nonlinear optic properties. A material exhibiting second order nonlinear optic properties includes an organic guest material incorporated into the pores of M41S material so that a non-centrosymmetric structure is formed which will provide second harmonic generation when subjected to electromagnetic radiation of a selected frequency. |
