In Non-linear optical activity what does negative polarizability of an isolated molecule indicate (through gaussian calculation)?
Raul Rangel-Rojo
Interesting question. I think you have to consider that the hyperpolarizabilities that give rise to the nonlinear response, are deviations from the linear behaviour. So, a negative hyperpolarizability for one molecule simply implies that the induced dipole moment at a given light irradiance is smaller than it would be if only the linear term would be kept.
