Abstract
This computational study analyzes how second-order nonlinear optical (NLO) properties can be enhanced in push–pull π-conjugated compounds of the type A-π-D, where the donor is based on an organic phenoxazine dye. Both the derivative and sum-over-states (SOS) methods were used to compare the molecular components of the known JK-201 species and POZ, as well as derivatives of the latter molecule with different electron-withdrawing substituents (POZ-F, POZ-CF3, and POZ-CN), to explore how molecular design affects the NLO response. Hyper-Rayleigh scattering (βHRS) is evaluated in both static and dynamic conditions with incident wavelengths of 1064 and 1907 nm, respectively. This provides insights into both the scattering efficiency and electronic transitions. The first hyperpolarizability β is visualized by unit sphere representation, with precise β0 calculations compared with the SOS model. Additionally, harmonic light intensity is calculated, and the predicted two-dimensional NLO spectra are examined, focusing on the dominant βXXX component.
