A nonlinear optical waveguide with organic crystals based on -nitrobenzyliden-3acetamino-4-methoxyaniline (MNBA) and its derivative was fabricated by organic molecular-beam epitaxy and operated as an electro-optic (EO) device. It has been proved that an EO coefficient of MNBA significantly depends on the thickness of the -nitrobenzyliden3-ethylcarbonylamino-4-methoxyaniline (MNBA–Et) homoepitaxial layer. Insertion of a thicker MNBA–Et homoepitaxial layer enlarges of MNBA heteroepitaxial layer from 30 to more than 150 pm/V.
