New Paper “Maximizing the hyperpolarizability poorly determines the potential” in print

Our new paper, a collaborative project with Rolfe Petschek and Joe Lesnefsky at Case Western Reserve University, appears today in the Journal of the Optical Society of America B. The work studies the issue of designing molecules with high nonlinear optical response by adjusting their electronic structure.

A preprint is also available on the ArXiV. Part of this work was presented at the American Physical Society March Meeting in 2011.
