Third harmonic generation spectra were measured for two derivatives of poly(l,6-heptadiyne), a di-ketone (PHDK) and a diester (PHDE); each has a bond-alternated structure and a twofold degenerate ground state. Since PHDK and PHDE are soluble in organic solvents, optical quality films can be cast fro

โฆ Synopsis
We report third harmonic generation (THG) studies on solution-cast thin films of two poly(dipropargyl) amines, poly(Nhexyl dipropargylamine) (PDPHA) and a salt derivative, poly ( dipropargyl-N-hexyl-N-methylammonium triflate) (PDPHMAT), covering pump energies from 0.6 to 1.4 eV. The THG data show the simultaneous two-and three-photon resonance expected for degenerate ground state conjugated polymers at 0.68 eV for PDPHA and 0.73 eV for PDPHMAT. The peak values of the thirdorder susceptibility are 1.0 ร 10-1o esu for PDPHA and 2.9 ร 10-~ ~ esu for PDPHMAT; off-resonance values are nearly an order of magnitude smaller.
