SYNTHESIS GROWTH AND PROPERTIES OF AN ORGANIC NONLINEAR OPTICAL CRYSTAL L HISTIDINIUM MALEATE (LHM)

Abstract

The objective of this study is to grow and to characterize the LHistidinium Maleate (LHM) crystal and to learn its suitability in modern Non-Linear Optics. This organic crystal grown by slow evaporation method has shown amazing optical performances and satisfactory spectral impressions in electronic and vibrational spectra. The Powder X-Ray Diffraction (PXRD) pattern confirmed the crystalinity of the synthesized LHM crystal. The Second Harmonic Generation (SHG) of LHM confirmed its Non-Linear Optical (NLO) performance.
