Abstract
Hyper-Rayleigh scattering (HRS) has been used to probe the spatial-orientational distribution function of nonlinear optical chromophores in the solid state. The fluctuations in this function cause a hyper-Rayleigh scattering signal that fluctuates as a function of position. The decay of the autocorrelation function of this fluctuating signal is characterized by a spatial correlation length. This length indicates the degree of spatial correlation between the chromophores.
