Abstract

In this paper some of the more important Hyper Rayleigh Scattering (HRS) Measurements performed in our laboratory are reviewed. The results of experiments conducted on polymers, the protein Bacteriorhodopsin, retinal derivatives and octopoles are presented. Basic HRS theory, along with a brief description of the HRS set-up, is also included.

We demonstrate that the experimental simplicity of HRS allows for an accurate determination of the first hyperpolarizability of molecules that could not have been measured by the more traditional Electric Field Induced Second Harmonic Generation (EFISHG) technique.
