Popis: The second-order nonlinear optical properties of polystyrene particles coated with two well-characterized nonlinear optical chromophores with different molecular symmetry have been studied. From the markedly different depolarization ratio for the hyper-Rayleigh scattering from the molecular scatterers and from the largely different second-harmonic intensity from particles coated with these chromophores, we conjecture that contributions from antisymmetric molecular electronic states are necessary to observe second-order nonlinear effects from centrosymmetrical particles in isotropic solution.
