Abstract
It is shown that energy/length scaling complicates maximizing the first hyperpolarizability of a single electron as a function of the potential. A more transparent formula for this hyperpolarizability is given. Examining this formula demonstrates that Zhou et al. 1 have not proved that modulated conjugation results in large hyperpolarizability.
