Description :
Abstract: Potassium Dihydrogen Phosphate (KDP) are nonlinear optical materials and have been used as optical modulation and frequency converters. KDP single crystals have grown by Sankarnarayan–Ramasamy method. Powder X-ray diffraction studies revels that KDP crystal belongs to tetragonal structure with I 2d space group. The functional group has been determined by FT-IR spectral studies. The cut-off wavelength and optical transparency of the grown single crystals were observed using a UV–Vis spectrophotometer. Thermal and physio–chemical stability of the grown crystal were examined by TGA, DTA and DSC studies. The second harmonic generation SHG investigated of the grown crystal by the Kurtz powder technique. Dielectric property with frequency was investigated by of the grown KDP crystal. Keywords: - Potassium Dihydrogen Phosphate (KDP), Sankarnarayan–Ramasamy method, XRD, FTIR, UV-NIR-VIS, SHG.
