Abstract

The search for new and better NLO materials in fact has never newlineceased in the endeavor to develop new laser sources and extend applications newlineresearch into very efficient and highly transparent UV to IR wavelength newlineNLO crystals This is a challenge in which physicists chemists and material newlinescientists concerned with NLO are today engaged newlineThe thesis consists of nine chapters discussing important and newlineinteresting issues in relation to NLO crystals In the first chapter a brief newlineintroduction to various growth methods with emphasis on melt growth of newlineCzochralski and Bridgman techniques low temperature solution growth and newlinestructureproperty of NLO material has been presented newline newline
