Abstract
Pure and N, N’ Dimethyl Urea doped Potassium Dihydrogen Phosphate (KDP) single crystals have been grown from
solution by slow evaporation of the solvent technique for nonlinear optical applications. The change in growth habit of
doped KDP crystals has been reported. On the grown crystals, FT-IR, UV-VIS-NIR transmission and powder X-Ray
diffraction studies have been performed. The improvement in Second Harmonic Generation efficiency has also been
confirmed by Kurtz and Perry method.
