Studies of the basic physics of nonlinear second order o p t i c a l processes in solids remain critically important to the f i e l d of n o n l i n e a r o p t i c s and to further advances in telecommunications technologies. This fact receives continued emphasis today in problems of current interest such as phase conjugation and o p t i c a l bistability. Research activities have centered on second order o p t i c a l processes occurring in inorganic d i e l e c t r i c insulators and semiconductors primarily because of the i m p o r t a n t scientific achievements and r e s u l t a n t large body of a v a i l a b l e information from e a r l i e r studies of p i e z o e l e c t r i c and f e r r o e l e c t r i c properties and semiconductor transport. Consequently, n e a r l y all of the n o n l i n e a r o p t i c a l m a t e r i a l s widely under study are i n o r g a n i c s o l i d s . Recently, however, much i n t e r e s t has focused on organic and polymeric solids b a s i c a l l y due to their e x c e p t i o n a l l y large n o n l i n e a r second order o p t i c a l p r o p e r t i e s and the promise of virtually unlimited numbers of c r y s t a l l i n e structures.(1-9) This a r t i c l e by i t s nature is l i m i t e d to a b r i e f summary of recent developments i n the authors' research on fundamental studies of nonlinear second order o p t i c a l p r o p e r t i e s of organic and p o l y m e r i c crystals and f i l m s . In p a r t i c u l a r , we d e s c r i b e several important results from these studies that have systematically led to microscopic understanding of the nature of the e l e c t r o n i c s t a t e s and o r i g i n of the large nonlinear optical responses in organic solids and c r y s t a l l i n e polymers while r e p o r t i n g recent progress in on-going studies of polymers. 1
