Abstract
We report the first findings on the origins of the second-order nonlinear optical response of generalized polyene structures, for which detailed many-electron calculations have been made. Nitro-methyldivinyldiacetylene (NMDVDA) is an example of a molecule with a polyene structure. The frequency-dependent measurements of βx, the vector part of βijk, of NMDVDA dissolved in 1,4 dioxane, were performed by dc-induced second harmonic generation with the use of a tunable (0.2-2-μm) laser source generated by stimulated Raman scattering from hydrogen gas.
