Abstract
Opt. Lett. 31, 2891-2893(2006) We use numerical optimization to find a one-dimensional potential energy
function that yields the largest hyperpolarizability, which we find is within
30% of the fundamental limit. Our results reveal insights into the character of
the potential energy functions and wavefunctions that lead to the largest
hyperpolarizability. We suggest that donor-acceptor molecules with a conjugated
bridge with many sites of reduced conjugation to impart conjugation modulation
may be the best paradigm for making materials with huge hyperpolarizabilities
that approach the fundamental limit.
