Nonlinear cubic susceptibility and dephasing of exciton transitions in molecular aggregates
Bogdanov V.L., Viktorova E.N., Kulya S.V., Spiro A. S.
The magnitude and dispersion of the nonlinear cubic susceptibility χ{ ' have been measured for an exciton transition of J aggregates of pseudoisocyanine in liquid solutions. There is a pronounced increase 'ιηχ{3) during the aggregation of the molecules. The dephasing time of the exciton transition, the absorption cross section, and the concentration and size of the "optical" aggregates have been determined.
