چکیده

Hyper-Rayleigh scattering (HRS) is an incoherent mechanism for optical second harmonic generation. The frequency-doubled light that emerges from this mechanism is not emitted in a laser-like manner, in the forward direction; it is scattered in all directions. The underlying theory for this effect involves terms that are quadratic in the incident field and involves an even-order optical susceptibility (for a molecule, its associated hyperpolarizability). In consequence, HRS is often regarded as formally forbidden in centrosymmetric media. However, for the fundamental three-photon interaction, theory based on the standard electric dipole approximation, representable as E1(3), does not account for all experimental observations. The relevant results emerge upon extending the theory to include E1(2)M1 and E1(2)E2 contributions, incorporating one magnetic dipolar or electric quadrupolar interaction, respectively, to a consistent level of multipolar expansion. Both additional interactions require the deployment of higher orders in the multipole expansion, with the E1(2)E2 interaction analogous in rank and parity to a four-wave susceptibility. To elicit the correct form of response from fluid or disordered media invites a tensor representation which does not oversimplify the molecular components, yet which can produce results to facilitate the interpretation of experimental observations. The detailed derivation in this work leads to results which are summarized for the following: perpendicular detection of polarization components both parallel and perpendicular to the pump radiation, leading to distinct polarization ratio results, as well as a reversal ratio for forward scattered circular polarizations. The results provide a route to handling data with direct physical interpretation, to enable the more sophisticated design of molecules with sought nonlinear optical properties.

Nonresonant hyper-Raman and hyper-Rayleigh scattering in benzene and pyridine

Nonresonant hyper-Raman and hyper-Rayleigh spectra excited at 1064 nm are reported for neat benzene and pyridine. The theory of Herzberg-Teller vibronic coupling in nonresonant and preresonant hyper-Raman scattering is developed. Nonresonant hyper-Raman scattering is shown to be vibronically induced by modes that efficiently couple strongly allowed onephoton and two-photon transitions. A weak a...

Spontaneous, stimulated, coherent and incoherent nonlinear wave mixing and Hyper-Rayleigh scattering; a unified quantum-field description

By combining a quantum treatment of the radiation field with a superoperator formalism we present compact expressions for a broad variety of coherent and incoherent nonlinear optical signals. Spontaneous signals are classified according to the molecular coherence range: homodyne detected signals result from long range two particle coherence whereas Rayleigh and hyper-Rayleigh scattering are sho...

Polarization and angle dependence for hyper-Rayleigh scattering from local and nonlocal modes of isotropic fluids

Collective modes of molecular motion result in long-range correlations between molecules. Orientation correlations between the molecules of an isotropic fluid owing to polar collective modes result in hyper-Rayleigh scattering with distinctive polarization and angle dependence. The polarization and angle dependence for hyper-Rayleigh scattering from polar transverse-optical and longitudinal-opt...

Hyper-rayleigh Scattering and Surface-enhanced Raman Scattering Studies of Platinum Nanoparticle Suspensions

Platinum nanoparticles (ptNPs) in the water are synthesized by nanosecond pulsed laser ablation of a pure platinum plate in the distilled water. Using hyper-Rayleigh scattering (HRS) spectroscopy is observed considerable HRS responses. Pt nanoparticles do not have visible-region plasmon absorption, do not represent clear HRS signals, whereas surprisingly, they exhibit strong surface-enhanced Ra...
