摘要
Linear and nonlinear optical properties of a series of novel donor-acceptor substituted alpha-oligothiophenes were investigated by means of electrooptical absorption measurements (EOAM) and electric field induced second harmonic generation (EFISH). The second-order polarizabilities beta(-2 omega; omega, omega) were related to dipole changes Delta mu(ag) and transition dipoles mu(ag) associated with low-lying charge-transfer (CT) excitations by using the perturbational two-level approximation, Systematic variation of the donor and acceptor groups led to compounds with exceptional nonlinearity and thermal stability. Too strong donor/acceptor pairs, however, yielded structures in the charge-resonance (CR) limit with small or vanishing Delta mu(ag) and beta. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science B.V.
