Single crystals of potassium hydrogen phthalate (KAP) are grown by solution growth technique. Linear optical constants are evaluated from UV/VIS/NIR spectrum. The Z scan technique is used to elucidate the third order nonlinearity in the material. The results indicate that the compound exhibits reverse saturable absorption (RSA) and self-defocusing performance. The second harmonic generation (SHG) efficiency of the crystal evaluated by Kurtz and Perry technique is compared with that of the standard KDP crystal. Attempt is made to correlate the SHG efficiency with the crystalline perfection in the material.

Rare earth doped potassium hydrogen phthalate (KHP) single crystals have been grown by slow evaporation technique. Single and powder X-ray diffraction analysis confirms the structural and crystallinity of grown crystals. The functional groups of pure and doped KAP crystals have been identified by FTIR spectral studies. UV-Vis studies explore the optical transmittance of the grown crystals in the entire visible region. Nonlinear optical property of the pure and doped KHP crystals was confirmed by Kurtz-Perry powder test.

Adipic acid doped potassium hydrogen phthalate (AAKHP) and pure potassium hydrogen phthalate single crystals were grown by slow evaporation method. Single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis was carried out to determine the lattice parameters in a = 6.47 Å, b = 9.59 Å, c = 13.25 Å and space group of Pca21. This confirms the grown AAKHP belongs to the orthorhombic system. Various diffracting planes of the grown crystal were indexed using powder X-ray diffraction study. Fourier-transform infrared studies confirm the presence of various functional groups in the grown crystal. The transmittance spectrum shows that the lower cutoff wavelength is around 290 nm. The nonlinear optical property of the grown crystal has been studied by Kurtz powder second harmonic generation (SHG) analysis. EDAX analysis confirms the presence of various elements in the AAKHP crystal. Vickers micro-hardness studies are used for the analysis of mechanical behaviour of the grown crystal. The paramagnetic nature of the grown crystal was confirmed by vibration spectrum magnetometer technique.
