Growth and characterisation of kh2 po4 kdp crystals doped with metal ions dyes amino acids and effect of swift heavy ion irradiation on doped kdp crystals

Abstract

The beauty of crystals has always been fascinating Crystals lie at newlinethe root of todays advanced technology Over the past few decades the newlineadvancement in science and technology has made single crystals newlineindispensable for the development of new generation devices The rapid newlinedevelopment of optical communication system has led to a demand for newlinenonlinear optical NLO materials of high performance for use as components newlinein optical devices NLO materials are also used in frequency conversion newlinewhich is a popular and current technique for extending the useful wavelength newlinerange of lasers The search for new materials has identified novel inorganic newlinesystems of considerable potential and high performance newline newline
