✦ Synopsis

We present a simple model for calculating the second-order optical response of a film of chiral molecules. The difference in the output signal for right or left circularly polarized input is analyzed. A strong enhancement in the normalized differential signal is found for p-polarized output. This is due to the existence of Brewster angles which are slightly different for R or L circular input. This feature has no analog in the linear signal, since in that case the two Brewster angles coincide.

We have observed fairly strong second-harmonic generation (SHG) in vacuum-deposited thin films of phthalocyanines (Pc) having central metal atoms; Co, Cu, Zn, VO, TiO, Pb, Sn and a metal-free Pc. Based on the remarkable spectral dependences, the SHG was concluded to be due to higher-order mechanisms

Recently, in situ optical second-harmonic generation (SHG) monitoring the growth of noble metal films on Si(111) has revealed clear oscillations in the second-harmonic (SH) signal with film thickness suggesting the presence of discrete quantum well states (QWS). In order to extend these studies to m
