The paper reviewed the recent progress (about 10years) in the conjugated polymer materials for third-order nonlinear optics including polydiacetylene (PDA)
polyacetylene (PA)
polythiophene(PTh)
polyphenylacetylene(PPA)
polybenzonitrile(PBN) and polyanilines (PAn) as well as their corresponding derivatives ect.In addition
the structural characteristics of conjugaed polymer materials for third-order nonlinear optics and their molecular designs were also introduced.
