third-order hyperpolarizability "γ" in nonlinear optics

In nonlinear optics third-order hyperpolarizability of molecules "γ" is often measured by THG(third-harmonic generation) experiments.
So third-order nonlinear susceptibility "X(3)" could be calculated from formula using the value of "γ".
Note that third-order nonlinear susceptibility "X(3)" is the complex number.
However in stimulated raman scattering experiments, the gain coefficient "g" is proportion of the imaginary part of X(3).
My question is :
If third-order hyperpolarizability of molecules "γ" is obtained by THG method, can this value("γ" ) be used to calculate the gain coefficient "g" from stimulated raman scattering formula?
or
Is third-order nonlinear susceptibility "X(3)" calculated using the value of third-order hyperpolarizability "γ" by THG method the same with the one used in stimulated raman gain coefficient formula?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
if the THG signal is close to the resonance absorption-band of some material , the third-order nonlinear susceptibility "X(3)" will become enhanced.

Then for the same material , in stimulated Raman experiments, if the laser frequency is also close to its resonance absorption-band (stimulated resonance Raman scattering), can the third-order nonlinear susceptibility "X(3)" of this material be enhanced?

For cases mentioned above , May third-order nonlinear susceptibilities "X(3)" from the two experiments be the same?or be approximate?

Hi. I have got question as in title. How can idea of instantaneous dipole moment for atoms like, for example hydrogen be consistent with idea of orbitals? At my level of knowledge London dispersion forces are derived taking into account Bohr model of atom. But we know today that this model is not correct. If it would be correct I understand that at each time electron is at some point at radius at some angle and there is dipole moment at this time from nucleus to electron at orbit. But how...
