Abstract
We introduce a self-consistent theory for the description of the optical linear and nonlinear response of molecules that is
based strictly on the results of the experimental characterization. We show how the Thomas-Kuhn sum-rules can be
used to eliminate the dependence of the nonlinear response on parameters that are not directly measurable. Our approach
leads to the successful modeling of the dispersion of the nonlinear response of complex molecular structures with
different geometries (dipolar and octupolar), and can be used as a guide towards the modeling in terms of fundamental
physical parameters.
