Many borate crystals feature nonlinear optical properties that allow for efficient frequency conversion of common lasers down into the ultraviolet spectrum. Twinning may degrade crystal quality and affect nonlinear optical properties, in particular if crystals are composed of twin domains with opposing polarities. Here, we use measurements of optical activity to demonstrate the existence of inversion twins within single crystals of YAl 3 (BO 3 ) 4 (YAB) and K 2 Al 2 B 2 O 7 (KABO). We determine the optical rotatory dispersion of YAB and KABO throughout the visible spectrum using a spectrophotometer with rotatable polarizers. Space-resolved measurements of the optical rotation can be related to the twin structure and give estimates on the extent of twinning. The reported dispersion relations for the rotatory power of YAB and KABO may be used to assess crystal quality and to select twin-free specimens.

ABSTRACTThe research described in part in this manuscript is a multi disciplinary effort to target key applications and material and processing requirements for these third order nonlinear optical polymers. It discusses the synthesis, characterization, and processing of nonlinear optical properties of polyimides which have been tailored for nonlinear optical activity.

Simultaneous effects of magnetic field, pressure and temperature on the exciton binding energies are found in a 9.0 1.0 6.0 4.0 GaAs P / GaAs P quantum dot. Numerical calculations are carried out taking into consideration of spatial confinement effect. The cylindrical system is taken in the present problem with the strain effects. The electronic properties and the optical properties are found with the combined effects of magnetic field strength, hydrostatic pressure and temperature values. The exciton binding energies and the nonlinear optical properties are carried out taking into consideration of geometrical confinement and the external perturbations.Compact density approach is employed to obtain the nonlinear optical properties. The optical rectification coefficient is obtained with the photon energy in the presence of pressure, temperature and external magnetic field strength. Pressure and temperature dependence on nonlinear optical susceptibilities of generation of second and third order harmonics as a function of incident photon energy are brought out in the influence of magnetic field strength. The result shows that the electronic and nonlinear optical properties are significantly modified by the applications of external perturbations in a 9.0 1.0 6.0 4.0 GaAs P / GaAs P quantum dot.
