Abstract
Conditions for the design of organic solids capable of optimum nonlinear optical behavior are investigated. Generalized expressions describing optimum phase-matching conditions in crystals of monoclinic symmetry and having one-dimensional hyperpolarizabilities are obtained. The results are applied to specific organic molecular solids. An anisotropic in-plane molecular polarizability is shown to provide the best condition for second-harmonic generation in these systems.
