Two angular patterns of second harmonic generation in Langmuir-Blodgett films
Multilayer Langmuir-Blodgett films of some azobenzene derivatives and bacteriorhodopsin are investigated using second harmonic generation. Two types of dependence of transmitted second harmonic intensity on pump incidence angle have been observed. The effect can be explained by different ratios of the film domain average size to the second harmonic wavelength.
