In this investigation we report results on the linear and nonlinear optical properties such as the dipole moment, polarizability, total first hyperpolarizability βtot, electric field-induced second harmonic generation β//, hyper-Rayleigh scattering first hyperpolarizability βHRS, the depolarization ratio DR, and the mean second hyperpolarizability γ of eight esters using density functional theory at the B3LYP, CAM-B3LYP, PBE0, M06, and M06-2X functionals.
