Ferro- and antiferroelectricity in liquid crystalline (LC) phases of bent-shaped molecules have attracted great attention. These materials are significant in that they are the first achiral fluids to exhibit chiral optical properties. In spite of numerous studies of their molecular properties, there are few previous works related to their chiral nonlinear optical properties. In this study, we conducted the measurement of Pockels effect for the crystalline phase of chiral bent-shaped molecule P-8-O-PIMB6^*. It is known that the P-8-O-PIMB6^* forms ferroelectric molecular arrangement in the smectic phase, so that the system should be highly active for even order nonlinear optics. The same measurement for the B4 phase in the achiral bent-shaped molecule is now going on.
