Effect of rare-earth dopants on the growth and structural, optical, electrical and mechanical properties of l-arginine phosphate single crystals

Synthesis, optical and dielectric studies on novel semi organic nonlinear optical crystal by solution growth technique

“…In recent years, second order nonlinear optical materials have attracted many researchers because of their potential applications in various emerging technological fields [1][2][3][4][5][6][7]. Today, crystal growth technology has advanced rapidly for the development of novel nonlinear optical materials (NLO) for various applications such as optical switching, frequency conversion and electro-optical modulation [8][9][10][11][12][13].…”

Synthesis, crystalline perfection, optical and dielectric studies on metal–organic tri-allylthiourea cadmium chloride (ATCC) nonlinear optical single crystal by solution growth technique

“…Frequency conversion is one of the most important and popular techniques to extend the useful wavelength range of laboratory laser. Second-order nonlinear optical (SONLO) materials have recently attracted much attention because of their potential application in emerging optoelectronic technologies [3]. Materials with short transparency cut-off wavelength and stable physicochemical, good thermal stability and high laser damage threshold are needed in order to realize many of these applications.…”

Optical, crystalline perfection and mechanical studies on unidirectional grown bis(thiourea) cadmium zinc chloride single crystal

“…However, organic compounds frequently suffer from volatility, poor thermal stability, poor mechanical strength and undesirable growth habit, making them unattractive for device fabrication. In order to overcome these difficulties, semi-organic materials have been proposed in which the high optical nonlinearity of a purely organic compound is combined with the favorable mechanical and thermal properties of inorganics [4]. Among the semi-organic nonlinear optical materials, metal complexes of thiourea have received much attention because they can be used as better alternatives for KDP crystals in frequency doubling and laser fusion experiments [5,6].…”
