  • Abstract
    Third-harmonic generation measurements have been made on LB Y-type multilayers of a protonated merocyanine dye. The third-order nonlinear susceptibility was deduced by observing the interference produced by changing the angle of incidence through the sample and referencing the signals to those from the substrate alone.
