Abstract
Third harmonic dispersion was measured in centrosymmetric and noncentrosymmetric squaraine molecular solutions. A large contribution to the third order nonlinearity from the 1Bu to 2Ag state was revealed. Contributions from ground and excited state dipole moments in ostensibly centrosymmetric and noncentrosymmetric dyes were observed.
