Optical second harmonic generation chiral spectroscopy

Chemphyschem. 2009 Jul 13;10(9-10):1431-4. doi: 10.1002/cphc.200900045.

Abstract

Chiral spectroscopic study: The intensities of second harmonic generation chiral spectroscopy are obtained from the dispersion of the nonlinear optical susceptibility components, as a function of wavelength for helicenbisquinone thin films (see figure). A single formalism fits all the data simultaneously, and the findings constitute an important milestone towards the development of a new experimental technique.
