Semi-organic single crystals of guanidinium tris cadmium sulphate octahydrate (GuCdS) with nonlinear optical properties were successfully grown by slow solvent evaporation technique. The grown crystals were characterised by powder X -ray diffraction analysis to determine the unit cell parameters. The structure of the compound belongs to triclinic crystal system and space group is found to be P1. The grown crystals were subjected to FTIR spectroscopic analysis to confirm the presence of functional groups present in the compound. UV-vis-NIR spectral study suggested that the grown crystal is transparent in the entire visible region, the lower cut off wavelength is 200 nm and the band gap value is estimated to be 6.14 eV. Nonlinear refractive index (n2), absorption coefficient (β) and third order nonlinear susceptibility (χ(3)) were calculated using Z-scan technique. The thermal stability of grown crystal was investigated by thermogravimetric and differential thermogravimetric analyses. The dielectric behaviour of the grown crystal was analyzed as a function of frequency of the applied field. The mechanical properties of grown crystal were examined by Vickers′s micro hardness test. The laser damage threshold of the grown crystal was calculated to be 1.796 GW/cm2.

We concentrate on the low temperature slow solvent evaporation method and characterization of pure and 1, 10 phenanthraline doped KB5 and describe its potential as a non-linear optical material. The grown crystal has been subjected to single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis to identify the unit cell parameters and crystal system. The presence of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen content were confirmed by CHN analysis. The Kurtz’s-Perry powder SHG efficiency was determined for both pure and 1, 10 phenanthraline doped KB5 crystals as 1.6 and 2.2 times than that of pure KDP. Laser damage threshold studies of the pure and doped KB5 crystals have been found to be Q-Switched Nd-YAG laser.

Single crystals of L-serine phosphate (LSP) were grown by slow evaporation technique. The optical studies reveal the transparency of the crystal in the entire visible region. Grown crystal was subjected to single crystal XRD diffraction technique. Thermal studies of LSP confirm the thermal stability of the crystal and it is stable up to 210°C. The functional groups and optical behaviour of the crystal were identified from FT-IR and UV-Vis analysis. The crystals were also characterized by microhardness and photoconductivity to determine the mechanical strength and the optical conductivity. Laser damage threshold and nonlinear optical activity of the grown crystal were confirmed by Q-switched Nd : YAG laser beam.

L-asparagine L-tartrate (LAT), an organic compound has been synthesized from aqueous solution and bulk single crystal has been grown by slow evaporation technique. Powder X-ray diffraction studies confirmed the monoclinic structure of the grown LAT crystal. The presence of functional groups of the grown crystal was identified by FTIR studies. Linear optical property of the grown crystal was studied by UV-Vis spectral analysis. Microhardness studies reveal that the crystal possesses relatively higher hardness compared to other organic nonlinear optical crystals. Dielectric response of the L-asparagine L-tartrate crystal was analyzed for different frequencies at various temperatures. Kurtz-Perry powder second harmonic generation test confirmed the nonlinear optical properties of the as-grown LAT crystal.

In this paper, an organic 4-nitroaniline picrate (4NP) single crystal was grown by solution growth method. Single crystal X-ray diffraction study revealed that grown crystal belongs to orthorhombic system with Pbcn space group. The solid state constants such as plasma energy, Penn gap, Fermi energy and polarizability of 4NP crystal were determined theoretically. The functional groups of the grown crystals were confirmed qualitatively from FTIR spectral analysis. The thermal decomposition and melting point of the crystal were determined from thermogravimetric analysis. The optical absorption and cut-off wavelength of the crystal were determined from UV-visible study. The second harmonic generation (SHG) efficiency of the grown crystal was measured by Kurtz–Perry SHG test using Nd : YAG laser. The laser damage threshold value of the grown crystal was estimated by multi-shot method using 1064 nm laser.

Single crystals of pure and thiourea substituted L-alanine single crystals were grown successfully by the solution method with slow evaporation technique at room temperature. The effect of dopant on crystal properties has been studied. The solubility of the grown samples was found at various temperatures. Structural characterization of the grown crystals was determined by the single crystal X-ray diffraction (XRD). EDAX studies indicate the presence of thiourea in the doped L-alanine crystals. The functional groups were identified by FTIR spectroscopy. The UV-Vis- NIR spectral studies were carried out to analyze the optical absorption of the grown crystals and found that the absorption is very low in the wavelength region 232-1000nm for both the samples. SEM studies explain the surface morphologies of the grown crystals. Improvement in the SHG efficiency was studied by the Kurtz and Perry method. Thermal analysis has been carried on the grown crystal. Keywords: NLO, XRD, EDAX, UV-Vis-NIR, SEM

A new non-linear optical mixed crystal of L-arginine hydrochlorofluoride monohydrate (LAHClF) has been grown by temperature lowering solution growth technique. The single crystal X-ray diffraction studies show that the LAHClF belongs to monoclinic crystal system. The optical transmittance of the crystal was studied by UV–Visible–NIR spectroscopy. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and thermal analysis were performed to study the molecular vibrations and thermal behavior of the crystals, respectively. The second harmonic generation intensity and laser damage threshold of the LAHClF crystal were measured. The mechanical strength of the material was determined by the Vickers hardness method.
