Exact fundamental limits of the first and second hyperpolarizabilities
Rick Lytel, Sean Mossman, Ethan L. Crowell +1
This letter calculates the exact fundamental limits of the first (β) and second (γ) hyperpolarizabilities using Monte-Carlo sampling of energy spectra and transition moments constr…
General solution to nonlinear optical quantum graphs using Dalgarno-Lewis summation techniques
Rick Lytel, Sean M. Mossman, Mark G. Kuzyk
We develop an algorithm to apply the Dalgarno-Lewis (DL) perturbation theory to quantum graphs with multiple, connected edges. We use it to calculate the nonlinear optical hyperpol…
Fundamental limits on the electro-optic device figure of merit
Sean Mossman, Rick Lytel, Mark G. Kuzyk
Device figures of merit are commonly employed to assess bulk material properties for a particular device class, yet these properties ultimately originate in the linear and nonlinea…
Physics of the fundamental limits of nonlinear optics: A theoretical perspective
Rick Lytel
The theory of the fundamental limits (TFL) of nonlinear optics is a powerful tool for experimentalists seeking to create molecules and materials with large responses, and for theor…
Dalgarno-Lewis perturbation theory for nonlinear optics
Sean Mossman, Rick Lytel, Mark G. Kuzyk
We apply the quadrature-based perturbation method of Dalgarno and Lewis to the evaluation of the nonlinear optical response of quantum systems. This general operator method for per…
Phase disruption as a new design paradigm for optimizing the nonlinear-optical response
Rick Lytel, Sean M. Mossman, Mark G. Kuzyk
The intrinsic optical nonlinearities of quasi-one dimensional structures, including conjugated chain polymers and nanowires, are shown to be dramatically enhanced by the judicious…
