Uw. Grummt et al., ATOMIC-FORCE MICROSCOPY AND NONLINEAR-OPTICAL STUDIES OF STILBAZOLIUMDYES IN LANGMUIR-BLODGETT LAYERS, Thin solid films, 285, 1996, pp. 904-907
A series of stilbazolium amphiphilic dyes has been synthesized under a
variation of the chromophore structure. AMI(SOS) calculations of beta
were performed. In the near-resonance region a marked wavelength depe
ndence of the conversion efficiency in the DFWM experiment is observed
which does not follow the absorption. chi((3)) values are in the rang
e of 10(-9) to 10(-10) esu.
