Authors(3) :-A. Venkatesan, S. Senthil, M.E. Rajasaravanan
Growth of bulk nonlinear optical (NLO) single crystals gained new significant with the advent of solid-state laser sources for opto-electronic applications. An optically transparent crystal of L-Malic acid doped KDP (LMKDP) potassium dihydrogen phosphate (KDP) has been grown from aqueous solution slow evaporation at room temperature. The crystallinity of the LMKDP crystals has been studied by powder XRD analysis. FTIR spectral analysis confirms the functional group in the synthesized compound. The second harmonic generation (SHG) efficiency was measured by using Kurtz powder technique. The dielectric behavior of grown crystals has been studied in the frequency range from 50 Hz to 50MHz. UV–visible absorption spectrum was recorded to study the optical transparency of grown crystal. Thermogravimetric analysis (TG) and differential thermal analysis (DTA) were used to study the thermal properties of the grown crystal.
