Modulated conjugation as a means for attaining a record high intrinsic hyperpolarizability
Javier Pérez-Moreno, Yuxia Zhao, Koen Clays +1
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 mo…
Pushing the hyperpolarizability to the limit
Juefei Zhou, Mark G. Kuzyk, David S. Watkins
We use numerical optimization to find a one-dimensional potential energy function that yields the largest hyperpolarizability, which we find is within 30% of the fundamental limit.…
Effect of a thin optical Kerr medium on a Laguerre-Gaussian beam
Weiya Zhang, Mark G. Kuzyk
Using a generalized Gaussian beam decomposition method we determine the propagation of a Laguerre-Gaussian beam that has passed through a thin nonlinear optical Kerr medium. The or…
The Effects of Geometry on the Hyperpolarizability
Mark G. Kuzyk, David S. Watkins
Extensive studies in the past have focused on precise calculations of the nonlinear-optical susceptibility of thousands of molecules. In this work, we use the broader approach of c…
