Abstract

The third-order nonlinear optical susceptibilities χ(3)1111(-3ω; ω, ω, ω) of macrocyclic compounds such as phthalocyanines and porphyrins are determined for the vacuum deposited and spin coated thin films by optical third-harmonic generation measurements at a wavelength of 1907 nm. The enhancements of the χ(3) values are discussed in terms of the central metal substitution, molecular stacking, extended ring size and number of χ-electrons. We firstly describe the results of extended porphyrin systems with 26 delocalized π-electrons.
