Abstract A series of squarylium cyanine dyes with different substituents were synthesized and the third-order optical nonlinearities of their ground and excited states were investigated by backward degenerate four-wave-mixing. For the ground state, the molecular hyperpolarizability γg increases with the red-shift of the absorption peak λabmax, of the squaraine with different substituents, whereas for the excited-state molecular hyperpolarizability γe, the nonlinear enhancement γe/γg decreases, which may indicate that in the excited state the electron accepting-donating ability of different substituents changes in the reverse order compared with the order in the ground state.
