Study of second-order nonlinear hyperpolarisability of all-trans-$\beta$-carotene in solutions by linear spectroscopic technique

doi:10.1088/1674-1056/19/6/064213

Abstract This paper demonstrates the second-order nonlinear hyperpolarisability $\gamma$ of all-trans-$\beta$-carotene in different solvents by linear spectroscopic technique that is based on resonance Raman scattering and UV--VIS (Ultraviolet-visible) absorption spectroscopy. Owing to the two-level model well describing the link that exists between the resonance Raman scattering and stimulated Raman scattering, the stimulated Raman polarisability $\alpha_{\rm R}$ can be calculated through the two-photon resonance system. The value of $\gamma$ of all-trans-$\beta$-carotene in carbon bisulfide solution is $6.435\times 10^{-33}$ esu (1 esu of resistance = $8.98755\times10^{11}~\Omega$) that is close to the true value, because the solution of all-trans-$\beta$-carotene in carbon bisulfide satisfies the rigid resonance Raman scattering condition. This method is expected to be worthy of applications to measure the second-order nonlinear hyperpolarisability of a conjugate organic molecule.
