Modulated conjugation as a means for attaining a record high intrinsic hyperpolarizability

Abstract

We report on a series of chromophores that have been synthesized with a modulated conjugation path between donor and acceptor. Hyper-Rayleigh scattering measurements of the best molecule show an enhanced intrinsic hyperpolarizability that breaches the apparent limit of all previously studied molecules.
