Growth and characterization of a new material for nonlinear optics: Methyl-3-nitro-4-pyridine-1-oxide (POM)

Correlation between structural studies and third order NLO properties of selected new quinolinium semi-organic compounds

“…The molecular nature of the materials offers considerable design possibilities which should permit to scale up the favourable molecular nonlinear optical properties to macroscopic devices [3][4][5][6][7][8]. Organic nonlinear optical materials with aromatic rings represent a large class of such materials with high nonlinearity, fast response and high optical damage threshold [9][10][11]. However, their use for applications is limited by their rather poor mechanical and thermal stabilities and the lack of sufficiently large single crystals of optical quality.…”

Synthesis, crystal growth and characterization of a new organic NLO material: Caffeinium picrate (CAFP)—A charge transfer molecular complex salt

“…The field of crystal growth has been enriched by organic molecular crystals due to their high optical nonlinearities and quick response in the electro-optic effect compared to the inorganic analogues [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]. Molecular flexibility of organic materials is an added advantage to enhance the nonlinear optical (NLO) properties in a desired manner [9].…”

Crystallization and Characterization of a New NonLinear Optical Crystal: L Proline Succinate (LPS)

“…It is seen that L-proline and (4R)-hydroxy-Lproline derivatives, containing donor groups are chiral carriers [2]. The introduction of chirality by means of an asymmetrically substituted carbon should in addition respect the molecular features leading to a high nonlinear behaviour [3]. Proline and its derivatives are often used as asymmetric catalysts in organic reactions.…”
