[[Hyper Rayleigh Scattering]]
 
Hyper Rayleigh Scattering (aka Harmonic Light Scattering) is one method for measuring &beta;.

An incident laser generates a second harmonic signal, specifically the frequency double signal. This can be related to the beta of the sample using this formula:
 
:<math>\frac {I_{sample}} {I_{solvent}} =  \frac {N_{sample} \langle \beta^2 _{sample} \rangle  + N_{solvent} \langle \beta^2_{solvent}\rangle}  {N_{solvent} \langle \beta^2_{solvent}\rangle}\,\!</math>
