Abstract
We present a theoretical and experimental study of the molecular susceptibilities. The generalized Thomas-Kuhn sum rules are used to characterize the nonlinear response of organic chromophores in terms of fundamental parameters. The nonlinear optical performance of real molecules is evaluated from the calculation of the quantum limits and Hyper-Rayleigh scattering measurements. Different strategies for the enhancement of nonlinear behavior at the molecular and supramolecular level are evaluated and new paradigms for de design of more efficient nonlinear molecules are proposed.
