Abstract
The experimental technique of generating incoherent second-harmonic, also known as hyper-Rayleigh scattering, has become widely appreciated for the determination of the first hyperpolarizability β of nonlinear optical chromophores in solution. This technique was first demonstrated with nanosecond pulses from Neodymium-YAG lasers,1 but has also been extended to femtosecond pulses from Titanium-sapphire lasers.2
