Accurate wave functions of the James--Coolidge type, which account for electron correlation, are used to calculate for H{sub 2} and D{sub 2} the dynamic second hyperpolarizabilities ({gamma}) which mediate the nonlinear optical processes: dc Kerr, dc electric-field-induced second-harmonic generation and third-harmonic generation. Values are given for a range of frequencies ({omega}=0 to {omega}=0.05 a.u.) as well as for some common laser frequencies. The effects of vibration are explicitly considered. As well, values of the dynamic field-gradient polarizabilities {ital B} and {ital C} are found. The results are more accurate than those previously published.
