Single crystals of Potassium dihydrogen Phosphate (KDP) have been grown from water using slow evaporation technique at constant temperature. Good quality seed crystals were obtained. The diffraction data of the grown crystals were determined by Powder X-Ray Diffraction (XRD). The XRD data were indexed using Unit cell software and the lattice parameters were calculated. The results were in good accordance with the literature. The KDP crystals were doped with cobalt, nickel, manganese, paranitrophenol, in view of modification of the properties of KDP crystal. It is found from the Powder XRD, that the incorporation of dopants slightly alters the lattice parameters. The Second Harmonic Generation (SHG) studies were carried out using Kurtz Perry technique. The SHG efficiencies of the doped crystals were found to be 1.12, 1.08, 1.08 and 1.20 times greater than the standard KDP crystals. The laser damage thresholds were determined for the pure and doped KDP crystals using single shot laser mode. It is found that the addition of dopants increases the damage threshold of the crystals, making it suitable for applications..

Active accounts were imported to the new platform and assigned a random password by default. In order to access your account you need to access the login page and go through the Lost Password dialog (involves the system sending you an email with instructions) in order to reset your password. This step is necessary as passwords are kept in hashed form and the new platform uses modern hashing algorithms incompatible with the previous ones.
