Abstract

Third-order optical susceptibilities (γijkl) can be efficiently analyzed for a variety of molecular structures employing perturbation theory and a PPP-SCF-SECI-DECI π-electron model Hamiltonian. The key, frequency tripling second hyperpolarizability γijkl(−3ω;ω,ω,ω) is calculated with full single and double CI. It is found that double excitations play a major role in third-order processes, and that γijkl, like the polarizability αij, is sensitive largely to the overall size (volume) of the π system, although charge transfer excitations may also contribute. The frequency dependence of v and correlations between γijkl and conjugation length are found for a series of trans polyenes.
