They were studied using standard methods - degenerate four waves mixing and third harmonic generation and nonlinear optical absorption. The obtained results allow us to conclude that NLO properties of an azulene molecule can be significantly enhanced by substitution with an electron accepting an acetamidophenyl group. <br /> <br />Full Text: <a class="file" href="/PLP/index.php/letters/article/view/2-32/104" target="_parent">PDF</a> <strong><br /><br />References</strong> <ol> <li>R.L.
