In this article we report theoretical calculations and experimental findings concerning linear optical and nonlinear optical properties of three model azo-carbazole derivative dyes. The goal of the work was to answer to what extent theoretical modeling can predict actual properties of a series of these dyes. Theoretical calculations were based on MM +, AM1 and PM3 models. Experimental data were obtained through UV-vis spectroscopy and electro-optic method.
