Nonlinear Optical Crystals for Laser : Growth and Analysis Techniques

ABOUT BOOK

Nonlinear optical crystals are widely used in modern optical science and technology for frequency conversion of Laser light. This book is intended to provide most fundamental but new development of techniques of fabrication of NLO crystals well as the characterizations in order to understand the mystery behind novel properties of the NLO crystals. This book will be useful for students and researchers to have sound idea about fabrication and crystal growth, how the properties can be achieved by nonlinear optical material with the help of different composition, doping and crystal growing techniques. The book covers characterization techniques and actual characterization of some samples which will be useful for researchers. The book presents of NLO crystal growth techniques, NLO properties, next chapter covers role of amino acids in achieving NLO properties and highlights Glycine Amino Acid doped mixed KDP NLO crystal besides Disodium hydrogen phosphate (DSHP) along with their applications and explains characterizations such as NLO test, XRD, FITIR, UV visible spectrum Analysis and TGA and DSC (Thermal Analysis). The book contains systematic description of crystal growth techniques, NLO properties, sample characterizations catering useful contents to develop understanding in the area of NLO materials and LASERS. The authors sincerely hope that readers of the book will be benefited from approach presented and will oblige with useful suggestions.
