Abstract
Sum rules have been used to show that there is an upper limit to molecular susceptibilities. Such calculations have been applied to the diagonal part of the second-order susceptibility tensor as measured with electric-field-induced second-harmonic generation, and to a variety of third-order measurements. The results show that the off-resonant susceptibilities of all molecules measured fall within the calculated limits. In this contribution, we show that the most susceptibilities measured with hyper Rayleigh scattering (HRS) fall below the two-dimensional theoretical limit, and discuss the issue of why some molecules appear to break this limit.
