Second-order optical nonlinearities of organic materials are largely controlled by the charge-transfer properties of molecular chromophores. Charge-transfer may occur between a donor and an acceptor group in an intramolecular CT band, typically through a pi-conjugated system, or in an intermolecular (through-space) CT band. Quantitative relationships between molecular second-order polarizabilities and CT properties for both are established on the basis of consistent electric-field-induced second-harmonic generation (EFISHG), hyper-Rayleigh scattering (HRS) and electrooptical absorption measurements (EOAM). Results for a series of one and two-dimensional NLO chromophores including nondipolar structures with threefold symmetry, molecular CT complexes, supramolecular aggregates and phases with chemical reactions will be presented.
