AbstractWe have synthesized several metal xanthate complexes from metal salts and xanthate potassium salts. Powders of several of the materials were sorted and tested for their nonlinear optical properties. Cadmium xanthate demonstrated phase matchability for frequency doubling of 1.06 micron light and generated a very strong second harmonic signal.

ABSTRACTIonically self-assembled monolayers (ISAMs) have recently been shown to spontaneously exhibit a polar ordering that gives rise to substantial second order nonlinear optical response. The deposition of ISAMs has been studied in situ via second harmonic generation. This is a particularly sensitive probe of the growth of nanometer-thick films since the centrosymmetry of the immersion solutions, the substrate, and the container yields no SHG contribution from these bulk components. Upon immersion in the NLO-active polyelectrolyte solution, the SHG rises sharply over the first minute. When a film is immersed into salt water, the SHG decreases significantly only to be restored when the salt solution is replaced with deionized water.

AbstractX-ray structural analysis, nuclear magnetic resonance, optical spectroscopy and second harmonic generation were used to characterize the new nonlinear crystals LiInS2 and LiInSe2 which possess maximum band gap (3.59 and 2.86 eV at 300 K, respectively) among ternary chalcogenides. As grown crystals are only slightly colored while color change after annealing is due to native point defects.

Optically good quality Diglycine Perchlorate (DGPCL) single crystals were grown by the solution growth slow evaporation method. Single crystal X-ray diffraction of DGPCL was analyzed in this paper. From the FTIR study, the functional groups of crystal were identified and confirmed. UV–Vis absorption spectrum was examined, which shows that large transmittance in the entire visible and NIR region and the value of optical band gap were determined. The Second Harmonic Generation efficiency of the crystal was determined by the Kurtz–Perry powder method, which authenticates nonlinear optical property of the title material. Thermal study with kinetic parameter calculations was analyzed. Laser Induced Damage threshold of the sample crystal was determined. The dielectric study was carried out by determining dielectric constant, dielectric loss and ac conductivity using LCR meter and the variations of these parameters with frequency and temperature were analyzed.

Zinc-tris thiourea sulphate (ZTS) is one of the promising semiorganic nonlinear optical materials; it is useful for nonlinear optical applications. The grown crystals were subjected to single crystal Xray diffraction, UV-visible spectrum, FTIR, microhardness and SHG studies. Single crystal X- ray diffraction analysis revealed that the grown crystal belongs to orthorhombic system with space groupPca21 . Various functional groups present in the sample were identified by FTIR analysis. UV visible transmittance spectrum shows that the wide transmittance and lower cut-off wavelength. The mechanical property of the grown crystal has been analysed by Vickers microhardness test. Second harmonic generation was confirmed by using Nd: YAG laser. The second harmonic generation results confirmed that the crystal has better nonlinearity than KDP crystal.

ABSTRACTPlane-parallel poled, low loss, channel waveguides are fabricated with a large poling field (200V/μm) in 4-dimethylamino-4'-nitrostilbene (DANS) side-chain polymers. The parallel poled film leads to efficient nonlinear optical applications for TE guided Modes. We demonstrate surface emitting second harmonic generation due to mixing of counter propagating waves with this film.
