Abstract

The femtosecond time-resolved optical Kerr effect (OKE) in room temperature polyatomic molecular liquids contains a wealth of information on the dynamics and structure of molecules through their nonlinear optical susceptibility.1 We present new femtosecond time-resolved results on the OKE of liquid benzene, nitrobenzene, and the series of monohalogenated benzenes (F, Cl, Br, I) which demonstrate the influence of the substituent (NO2 or halogen) on the purely electronic hyperpolarizability of these molecules.
