Theoretical evaluation of the nonlinear optical properties of extended and π-conjugated chromophores

The nonlinear optical (NLO) properties were investigated in various extended π-conjugated chromophores: cyanine and alkyne carbocations; porphyrin dimers; and squaraine compounds that possess electronic, double resonance, and vibronic based NLO properties. In summary: (i) It was demonstrated that th...
