Synthesis,growth and characterization of an organometallic complex tri-allylthiourea cadmium bromide single crystals

Allylthiourea cadmium bromide (ATCB) is a promising organometallic second order nonlinear optical material. ATCB was synthesized in Millipore water and single crystals of ATCB were grown by isothermal solvent evaporation as well as by conventional temperature lowering methods. Crystal structure of the as grown ATCB was analyzed by single crystal X-ray diffraction and also by powder X-ray diffraction pattern. Structural perfection of the as grown single crystal was studied through multicrystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The nature of co-ordination and the functional groups present were investigated by the Fourier transform infrared spectrum. The melting point of the crystal was studied through differential scanning calorimetric analysis. The optical absorption spectrum of the as grown crystal exhibits the lower cut-off (295 nm) with the wide transparent UV–VIS–NIR wave band. The SHG property was identified by Kurt’z powder technique. The linear refractive index of the as grown crystal was measured for different laser wavelengths. The reverse indentation size effect for the as grown crystal was confirmed from the mechanical studies. Growth mechanism and surface features of the as grown single crystals were analyzed by chemical etching analysis.

Semiorganic nonlinear optical material of dichloro(beta-alanine)cadmium(II) (DCBAC) have been synthesized and single crystals were grown by solvent evaporation method at room temperature. The lattice parameters of the grown crystals are determined by single crystal XRD. The modes of vibration of different molecular groups present in the sample were identified by the FTIR spectral analysis. Thermal stability of the crystal was investigated using thermo gravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential thermal analysis (DTA). The dielectric constants of the crystal were studied as a function of frequency and the results are discussed. The grown crystals are subjected to microhardness studies and the variation of the microhardness with the applied load is studied. The optical transmission spectra and second harmonic generation (SHG) were investigated to study its linear and nonlinear optical properties. The nonlinear optical (NLO) property of the crystal was confirmed by powder second harmonic generation (SHG) test. SHG efficiency is comparable to that of KDP.     

Linear and Nonlinear Optical Properties Of Racemic (±)2-(α-Methylbenzylamino)-5-Nitropyridine Single Crystals

Linear and nonlinear optical properties of racemic (±)2-(α-methylbenzylamino)-5-nitropyridine ((±)MBANP) single crystals have been comprehensively investigated and compared with those of the enantiomorph (–)2-(α-methylbenzylamino)-5-nitropyridine ((–)MBANP) crystals. (±)MBANP crystal exhibits very high chemical and physical stability, but relatively small nonlinear optical coefficients (d₃₁ = 6.8 pm/V, d₃₂ = 4.7 pm/V, d₃₃ = 0.84 pm/V). A comparison between the nonlinear optical coefficients of (±)MBANP and (–)MBANP demonstrates the validity of the oriented-gas model in molecular crystals that neglects all the contributions from intermolecular interaction.     

Nonlinear optical properties of dibenzoylmethanate boron difluoride crystals

Nonlinear optical properties of dibenzoylmethanate boron difluoride crystals have been discovered. The optical properties of bulk crystals and microcrystals are different. The bands observed in the luminescence spectrum of the bulk crystals can be interpreted as follows: the narrow band at 530 nm is ascribed to second harmonic generation; the wide band at 460 nm is caused by multiphoton excitation processes. A specific difference in nonlinear optical properties of the bulk crystals and microcrystals is the absence of the band related to the multiphoton excitation processes in the luminescence spectrum of microcrystals. Therefore, in the case of dibenzoylmethanate boron difluoride crystals, a size dependence of not only luminescent, but also of nonlinear optical properties, is discovered for the first time, which is promising for the development of new optical materials.     

Ab initio studies on the optical effects in the deep ultraviolet nonlinear optical crystals of the KBe(2)BO(3)F(2) family

Electronic structures of the deep ultraviolet nonlinear optical crystals of the KBe(2)BO(3)F(2) (KBBF) family, including KBBF, RbBe(2)BO(3)F(2) and CsBe(2)BO(3)F(2), have been investigated based on a plane-wave pseudopotential method. Their linear and nonlinear optical coefficients are also calculated, and are in good agreement with the experimental results. A real-space atom-cutting method is adopted to analyze the respective contributions of the alkali metal cations and anionic groups to optical response. The results show that the contributions of anionic groups to the nonlinear optical anisotropic responses are dominant, but the influence of the A-site alkali metal cations becomes slightly more pronounced with the increase of their radius. Moreover, the birefringence difference among these crystals strongly depends on the volume effect, i.e.,?the spatial density of the (BO(3))(3-) anionic groups.

The fluorescence spectrum of the crystal was recorded and the optical band gap is about 2.3 eV.

Optical, thermal and dielectric properties of Ni(II)-doped tris(thiourea)zinc(II) sulphate single crystals grown by slow evaporation solution growth technique has been investigated. The lattice parameters of the as-grown crystals were obtained by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The modes of vibrations of different functional groups present were identified by FT-IR studies. The surface morphological changes are observed in the doped specimen. The structure and the crystallinity of the material were confirmed by powder X-ray diffraction analysis. The UV–vis optical absorption spectrum shows the lower optical cut-off at ∼284 nm and the crystals are transparent in the entire visible region. The relative second harmonic generation efficiency measurements reveal the enhancement of efficiency by doping with small quantities of Ni(II).     

Nonlinear-laser effects in χ(<Superscript>3</Superscript>)-and χ(<Superscript>2</Superscript>)-active organic single crystals

The process of stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) allows one to convert laser emission wavelength of crystals, providing suitable molecular or lattice modes which contribute to third-order nonlinear optical susceptibility. Renewed interest in this field emerged because of the discovery of SRS in crystals that contain molecular units exhibiting Raman active modes. Particularly, organic nonlinear optical crystals used so far for frequency doubling and third harmonic generation seem to have a great potential for SRS application. This review paper reported same results on efficient SRS lasing effects that were discovered recently in organic crystals.

Nonlinear surface plasmon polaritonic crystals

We present an overview of the optical properties of nonlinear surface plasmon polaritonic crystals and their applications to control light with light. Surface plasmon polaritonic crystals are periodically nanostructured metal surfaces or thin metal films that act as two‐dimensional photonic crystals for surface polaritons. Hybritization of such nanostructures with dielectrics exhibiting an optical nonlinear response allows utilization of the electromagnetic field enhancement effects to observe nonlinear effects and bistable behaviour at low light intensities. By changing the geometry of the nanostructured film, the dispersion of the crystal is modified and, thus, electromagnetic mode structure and associated density of states can be controllably tuned in the desired spectral range. This provides enhanced flexibility in engineering the nonlinear optical response of plasmonic crystals in a chosen spectral range for both control and signal wavelengths.
