Abstract

Single crystals of semiorganic nonlinear optical material of L-Glycine Sodium Nitrate (LGSN) have been successfully grown by slow evaporation solution growth technique. Cell parameters of the grown crystal were identified using single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis and it was found that the material crystallizes in monoclinic system with space group Cc. The presence of functional groups and the spectral properties were assessed by FTIR analysis. Optical transparency of the grown crystals was investigated by UV-Vis-NIR spectrum. The scanning electron microscope analysis was carried out to determine the surface morphology of the grown crystal. Second harmonic generation efficiency of the grown crystal have been measured by Kurtz and Perry technique and it was found to be 2.5 times greater than that of KDP. The obtained results show that L-Glycine Sodium Nitrate crystals are potential materials for NLO device fabrication.
