Unique determination of the hyperpolarizability tensor ratio through a depolarized hyper-rayleigh scattering

Abstract

A depolarized hyper-Rydberg scattering under an external electric field (e-HRS) was introduced to uniquely determine the ratio of hyperpolarizability tensor components. It was shown that this novel process of e-HRS permits determination of the sign and magnitude of the hyperpolarizability tensor ratios as well as the molecular dipole moment.
