Abstract

The dispersions of the fifth- and seventh-order nonlinear optical susceptibilities, ${\chi }_{113333}^{\left(5\right)}$ and ${\chi }_{11333333}^{\left(7\right)}$, respectively, of a polydiacetylene film, poly(4-BCMU), are determined through electroabsorption spectroscopy. To our knowledge this is the first time that a spectrum of seventh-order nonlinear optical susceptibility has been obtained by means of electro-optic measurements.
