Abstract

Nonlinear optical (NLO) crystals have potential uses in many devices utilizing their ability of frequency conversion, frequency mixing, electro-optic modulation etc. In the present work, single crystal growth and characterizations of NLO LArginine doped Ammonium Dihydrogen Phosphate (ADP) from solution by employing slow evaporation of the solvent have been reported. The inclusion of the dopant has been confirmed qualitatively by FT-IR study. UV-VIS-NIR spectroscopy shows the improvement in the optical transparency. Crystal structure has been studied by powder X-Ray diffraction. The Second Harmonic Generation efficiency has been studied by Kurtz and Perry method and found to be 1.22 times more for 2mol% L-Arginine doped ADP as compare to pure ADP. Thermal analysis has also been performed on the grown crystals to study thermal stability..
