ABSTRACTA study was made of third-order nonlinear optical susceptibilities of new tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) derivatives, using the degenerate four wave mixing (DFWM) method, as well as complex quantum chemical calculations. To understand the physical nature of the optical nonlinearities, we separated their electronic and nuclear contributions. We found that the electronic contribution to these nonlinearities predominated. Our investigations suggest that TTF may be a highly promising material for nonlinear optics (NLO).

AbstractA series of polybenzonitrile derivatives, prepared by plasma glow discharge processes or chemical polymerization, were characterized by FT-IR, UV-Vis, GPC and VPO etc. The secondorder nonlinear optical hyperpolarizability γ of various benzonitrile monomers and their, polymers were measured by the femtosecond time-resolved optical Kerr effect technique, and the structureproperty relationships were discussed. The power law dependence of γ on the averagepolymerization- degree of several polybenzonitrile derivatives were also reported.

ABSTRACTPicosecond and femtosecond degenerate four-wave mixing have been used to measure third-order nonlinear optical susceptibility of several rigid-rod polymers and model compounds. A significant X(3) with femtosecond response was observed. The effects of processing conditions and structural variations on X(3) were studied. Four-wave mixing studies can also be conveniently used to generate ultrasonic phonons of well defined wave length and propagation direction. From this result one can investigate mechanical properties of polymers. Using this technique both the longitudinal and shear components of the elastic moduli for a uniaxially oriented rigid-rod polymer, poly-p-phenylene bis benzooxazole (PBO), were determined.
