Abstract

The present invention relates to new thiphene-related compounds of the general formula (I): ##STR1## in which: n is an integer between 1 and 10, advantageously between 1 and 4; PA0 A is an electron-acceptor group; and D is an electron-donor group. These compounds exhibit a high hyperpolarizability and an excellent photochemical stability and are employed especially in optical or electrooptical devices for their activity in nonlinear optics.
