As. Aleksandrovsky et al., NONLINEAR-OPTICAL PROPERTIES OF VAPORS OF UNSATURATED-HYDROCARBONS AND VUV GENERATION, Journal of physics. B, Atomic molecular and optical physics, 26(17), 1993, pp. 2965-2975
Non-linear optical properties of molecules with double-conjugated bond
s are under consideration. UV and VUV generation by third-order proces
ses in four specific media (naphthalene, anthracene, paraterphenyl and
benzene) belonging to the beginning of the linear series of polyacene
s and polyphenyls are studied. Optimal conversion conditions have been
established for various frequency-mixing schemes of a neodymium laser
and the efficiency of generation has been estimated. Also studied are
the accompanying processes and the limiting factors.
