Last decade the big notice ofthe technicians engaged in creation and probing ofnew materials, physicists, mechanics has caused nanostructural materials. These materials have unique structure and properties, many of which have direct practical interest. In nanostructural materials are often changed fundamental, usually structural-tolerant characteristics, such as elastic modules, temperatures of Kury and Debay, magnetization of saturation, etc. It allows to improve existing and creation of essentially new constructional and functional materials, which are possible to design of all-optical network componets. Nanostructural materials belong crystal materials with the average size of grains or other structural units, less than I 00 nanometers. There are various kinds of such materials. By geometrical attributes it is possible to divide them on nuclear clusters and particles, one and two-dimensional multilayers, coverings and laminar structures, three-dimensional volumetric nanocrystalic and nanophase materials. Here we proposed an application of nanostructural materials for design of all-optical network components. Results of Kury temperature variation, Pockels effect and Kerr effect and other properties are presented.
