Abstract
An explicit formula expressing the refractive index in terms of exciton energies and oscillator strengths is used to calculate the absorption spectrum of the crystal at zero and non-zero electric field; the electroabsorption signal is calculated as their difference, without any a priori assumptions regarding the shape of the individual EA fingerprints. The approach is applied for the sexithiophene crystal. The results show that an isolated Frenkel exciton always yields a first-derivative EA signal, regardless of its intensity, and that this conclusion is not affected by polaritonic effects. For the specific case of sexithiophene, a satisfactory theoretical reproduction of the EA spectrum is possible only when the low-energy charge-transfer states are included.
