Abstract
The dispersions of the fifth- and seventh-order nonlinear optical susceptib ilities, chi(113333)((5)) and chi(11333333)((7)) respectively, of a polydia cetylene film, poly(4-BCMU), are determined through electroabsorption spect roscopy. To our knowledge this is the first time that a spectrum of seventh -order nonlinear optical susceptibility has been obtained by means of elect ro-optic measurements.
