Strong Wavelength Dependence of Hyperpolarizability in the Near-Infrared Biological Window for Second-Harmonic Generation by Amphiphilic Porphyrins

We have applied the Thomas-Kuhn sum rules to model the wavelength dependence of the second-order nonlinear polarizability of an amphiphilic porphyrin chromophore designed for cellular imaging on the basis of the complete analysis of its linear absorption spectrum. We predict huge oscillations for th...
