Hyper Rayleigh Scattering (aka Harmonic Light Scattering or HRS) is one method for measuring the first hyperpolarizabilityβ. Another method is electric field induced second harmonic generation (EFISH)

Overview

Schematic of the HRS setup. CL = collimating lenses; LPF = long-pass filter; FL = 300-mm focusing lens; S = solution of chromophore in solvent of choice; DO = detection optics; IF = interference filter (950 nm)

In HRS A dilute sample of a test chromophore is prepared in a solvent. The dielectric properties of the solvent influence the β (solvatochromatism). In HRS 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>
