            Abstract : 
We combine photopatterning and thermally induced polymerization to build long lifetime spatially controlled quadratic hyperpolarizabilities distribution in push-pull chromophore doped photocrosslinkable monomers for the fabrication of quasi phase matching elements for second harmonic generation.
