Abstract: In this paper, the spectroscopy characteristics and the second-order nonlinear op-tical properties of a series of push-pull chromorphores (R-HANB) based on 4'-bis (N, N-hydroxyethylene)imino-4-nitro azobenzene were studied.R-HANBwere classified as pseu-do-stilbene type molecules, which possess ultrafast photoresponsive time scale.The intensi-ties of the second-order harmonic generation of R-HANBpowder were mostly in the intensehigher than that of Disperse Red 1, while their composite values of first hyperpolarlizabilitiesand ground state permanent dipole monents were in the order of >3.4×10-82 C2m4/V2.Thesecond harmonic coefficients for the poled R-HANB-doped PMMAfilms were in the orderof >7.2×10-19 4/V.The variation of these properties of R-HANBwas explained well bythe electron and steric effects of substituents.
