Characterization of linear and nonlinear optical properties of a new single crystal: Urea-(d)tartaric acid(UDT)

We describe a new method, organic inclusion complex, to design materials without center of inversion for application in quadratic nonlinear optics in the ultraviolet region. The characterization of linear and nonlinear properties of such an inclusion complex crystal, urea-(d)tartaric acid(UDT), are presented.
