This thesis reports a detailed study of the molecular response of a large variety of push-pull organic compounds using the Second Harmonic Generation technique, which will serve as a starting point for the investigation at the macroscopic scale of azobenzene-based liquid crystalline polymeric films and their blends with highly efficient NLO chromophores. These materials are designed with the aim of exploiting their photo-addressability in order to tailor their nonlinear behaviour. The magnitude and symmetry of their nonlinear response was successfully controlled via light irradiation and thermal treatments. Moreover, as a specific application, the recording of efficient NLO gratings was achieved and is described here. 410 0$aSpringer Theses, Recognizing Outstanding Ph.D. Research,$x2190-5053 606 $aNonlinear optics 606 $aElectromagnetic waves 615 0$aNonlinear optics. 615 0$aElectromagnetic waves. 676 $a621.36/61 700 $aAlicante$b Raquel$0980229 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910438110803321 996 $aPhotoinduced Modifications of the Nonlinear Optical Response in Liquid Crystalline Azopolymers$92235952 997 $aUNINA
