Solution Growth Of New Organic Nonlinear Optical Crystal Material

Organic nonlinear optical crystals offer extensive possibilities of materials engineering in many fields of solid state science. They exhibit interesting potential uses in optoelectronics. In the search for new organic nonlinear optical crystals, solution growth is suitable for rapidly preparing specimens for first assessment of properties. Examples of apparatus and procedures for determining the solublilty vs. temperature dependence, mapping the primary crystallization range in different solvents, as well as for growing crystals of several selected materials are described.© (1989) COPYRIGHT SPIE--The International Society for Optical Engineering.
