Third-order nonlinear optical properties of polymethine-based materials: a theoretical investigation
Organic π-conjugated molecules and materials with large real parts and small imaginary parts of the third-order polarizability are of great interest for all-optical switching applications. In this dissertation, we use quantum-chemical and molecular-dynamics approaches to investigate the structure-pr...
