Abstract
The direction and the magnitude of the first hyperpolarizability are investigated by the finite field (FF) method for organic nonlinear optical ionic chromophores and crystals with an isotropic counteranion, either a point charge or hexafluorophosphate. Simple model compound 4-aminopyridinium and DAPSH (N,N-dimethylamino-N′-phenyl-4-stilbazolium hexafluorophosphate) crystal with the highest quadratic optical nonlinearities measured to date in organic crystals, as well as stilbazolium derivatives having heteroaromatic and/or bulky aromatic rings, are investigated. Calculations indicate that the extrinsic isotropic point-charges or anions almost have no effect on the direction of the intrinsic first hyperpolarizability of the cation chromophores, and induce a limited increase of the magnitude smaller than ∼15% due to their asymmetric distribution with respect to the pyridinium nitrogen atom. This finding enables one to simply approximate the first hyperpolarizability of ionic crystalline systems having 1D i...
