Electric field induced second

Nonlinear Optical Devices. A transparent, optically active, sol—gel-derived organic—inorganic glass has been synthesized (68). This hybrid consists of a 2,4-dinitroaminophenylpropyl-triethoxysilane covalently bound to a siUcon alkoxide-derived siUca network. This hybrid exhibits a strong electric field-induced second harmonic signal and showed no signs of crystallization. 

As was proven later by Bishop [19], the coefficient A in the expansion (73) is the same for all optical processes. If the expansion (73) is extended to fourth-order [4,19] by adding the term the coefficient B is the same for the dc-Kerr effect and for electric field induced second-harmonic generation, but other fourth powers of the frequencies than are in general needed to represent the frequency-dependence of 7 with process-independent dispersion coefficients [19]. Bishop and De Kee [20] proposed recently for the all-diagonal components yaaaa the expansion... 

Table 1 Coefficients for 7[ (a ) for third harmonic generation (THG), degenerate four wave mixing (DFWM), electric field induced second harmonic generation (ESHG), and Kerr effect in methane at the experimental geometry rcH = 2.052 a.u. A CCSD wavefunction and the t-aug-cc-pVDZ basis were used. (Results given in atomic units, the number in parentheses indicate powers of ten.)...

The CCSD model gives for static and frequency-dependent hyperpolarizabilities usually results close to the experimental values, provided that the effects of vibrational averaging and the pure vibrational contributions have been accounted for. Zero point vibrational corrections for the static and the electric field induced second harmonic generation (ESHG) hyperpolarizability of methane have recently been calculated by Bishop and Sauer using SCF and MCSCF wavefunctions [51]. 

Experimental and theoretical results are presented for four nonlinear electrooptic and dielectric effects, as they pertain to flexible polymers. They are the Kerr effect, electric field induced light scattering, dielectric saturation and electric field induced second harmonic generation. We show the relationship between the dipole moment, polarizability, hyperpolarizability, the conformation of the polymer and these electrooptic and dielectric effects. We find that these effects are very sensitive to the details of polymer structure such as the rotational isomeric states, tacticity, and in the case of a copolymer, the comonomer composition.

Using these and other design principles, very large increases in the valnes of chro-mophores have been obtained since the original work on the simple red monoazo dyes of the disperse dye class. These new NLO chromophores are known as high pP chromophores , a selection of which are shown in Figure 5.31, the pP values quoted being measnred by electric field induced second harmonic at (EFISH) 1.9 It...

Electric Field Induced Second-Harmonic Generation. An essential aspect of the development of materials for second-order nonlinear optics is the determination of the p tensor components. The technique that has been developed to accomplish this is called electric field induced second harmonic generation (EFISH) (13,14). 

Third-Order NLO Techniques. There is a wider range of third-order techniques commonly used to characterize materials, including electric field induced second harmonic generation (EFISH) (15, 16), third harmonic generation (THG) (17) and degenerate four wave mixing (DFWM) (18). EFISH and DFWM will be discussed briefly then... 

Both theoretical analysis and dipole moment measurements indicated that sulfonyl-substituted compounds may have ft coefficients similar in magnitude to their nitro analogues. Therefore, we have measured p for several sulfonyl- and nitro-substituted compounds using electric-field-induced second-harmonic generation method (EFISH) (11,25). In this experiment, one measures an effective third-order nonlinearity rEFISH for a solution containing the compound of interest, given by... 

A detailed investigation of the NLO properties of molecules of series 2 and 3 has been performed in the powder state (12) as well as in solution by the electric-field-induced-second-harmonic (EFISH) generation method (13-15). It has allowed the analysis of the influence of the molecular parameters on the NLO features (12-15). 

The high viscosity of the PMMA damps out orientational contributions so that the yqeo that is measured is thought to be =60-90% electronic. This has been ascertained by measuring the electric field induced second harmonic generation (EFISH) below the Tg of the polymer. From this can be obtained the microscopic elastic constant, which can in turn be used to estimate the magnitude of the two orientational contributions to yQEO- Details are provided else where (13,16).
