Abstract

The second-order optical nonlinearity of was deduced from the Pockels response of mixed -arachidic acid Langmuir-Blodgett monolayers by using electro-optically modulated attenuated total reflection spectroscopy. We obtained a considerable second-order susceptibility for of (namely ) which is in agreement with that obtained from the measurement of second-harmonic generation and attributed to the electrical quadrupole and/or magnetic dipole contributions of molecules.
