Abstract
Third-order nonlinear susceptibilities (χ(3)) for thin films of oligo- and polygermanes were measured in the range of 0.6 - 86 × 10-12 esu. A measured χ(3) of 86 × 10-12 esu for a polygermane-polysilane random copolymer, coploy(methylphenylsilylene/methylphenylgermylene), was the largest ever reported for transparent polymers in the visible spectral region.
