Synthesis and First Hyperpolarizabilities of Acceptor-substituted β-apo-8'-Carotenal Derived Compounds

Creators

Abstract

The synthesis and second-order nonlinear optical properties of acceptor-substituted biologically derived β-apo-8′-carotenal compounds are reported; electric field-induced second harmonic generation (EFISH) measurements give values of β(0) which are 2–6 times greater than for 4-N,N-dimethylamino-4′-nitrostilbene (DANS).
