: This book is based on research conducted on the growth and characterization of nonlinear optical crystals. Due to the significance of crystals in contemporary technology, crystal growth has been the focus of extensive research in both solid-state physics and materials science. This book serves as an introduction to the growth phenomena, specifics of growth processes, nonlinear optical phenomena, and characterization methods that are being used for the analysis. The book is divided into three chapters: The first chapter focuses on the experimental techniques of crystal growth. It outlines the several ways that crystals grow based on the phases they go through, such as solid-solid phase transition, liquid-solid phase transformation, and vapour-solid phase transformation. The optimization methods for growing high-quality single crystals are thoroughly presented. The benefits and drawbacks of methods of growth are reviewed. The second chapter explains the theory of nonlinear optical phenomena. The selection criteria for nonlinear optical materials are reviewed. The history of nonlinear optics and the various types of nonlinear optical materials are discussed. The role of amino acids in the formation of nonlinear optical crystals is well explained. The third chapter discusses characterization procedures that are essential in determining the quality of crystals. The several characterization mechanisms including the molecular structure, chemical composition, surface morphology, optical properties, dielectric properties, mechanical behavior, and thermal properties necessary for crystal analysis are described. We hope that this book will be valuable to researchers and students.

Progress in solid-state laser research, nonlinear optical material growth science and nonlinear optical frequency conversion techniques is reported. High quality crystals of silver gallium selenide in lengths up to 3.5 cm are now being grown for nonlinear infrared applications. The growth of barium borate for ultraviolet and high-intensity visible applications has pursued. With these new materials we have made first demonstrations of optical parametric oscillation and demonstrations of high-average-power frequency conversion capabilities. The stability of the single-axial-mode diode-pumped solid-state lasers is proving vital for the reliable operation of nonlinear optical devices such as cw second harmonic generators and single-mode optical parametric oscillators. Zig-zag slab laser development has continued to provide sources of high-average-power pump radiation. Keywords: Nonlinear optics, Nonlinear optical materials, Barium borate, Silver gallium selenide, Lithium niobate, Harmonic generation, Optical parametric oscillation, Slab laser.

In the modem world, the development of science & technology in many areas has been achieved through the growth of single crystals. Large sized single crystals are essential for device fabrication and efforts are taken to grow large single crystals in short duration with less cost. Nonlinear optical (NLO) materials are expected to play a major role in photonics including optical information processing, sensor protector applications, data storage ... etc. Some organic compounds exhibit large NLO response, in many cases, orders of magnitude larger than widely known inorganic materials. They also offer the flexibility of molecular design and the promise of virtually an unlimited number of crystalline structures. The present book is aimed towards the development of NLO single crystals of L-Valinium picrate (LVP), L-Histidine hydrochloride monohydrate (LHHM), L-Serine sodium nitrate (LSSN), Bisglycine hydrobromide (BGHB) and Picolinic acid hydrochloride (PHCL) which are all excellent NLO materials are exhibiting NLO property more than that of KDP, and these grown materials can be used as a better replacement for KDP to find applications in the field of opto-electronics.

Mathematical methods play a significant role in the rapidly growing field of nonlinear optical materials. This volume discusses a number of successful or promising contributions. The overall theme of this volume is twofold: (1) the challenges faced in computing and optimizing nonlinear optical material properties; and (2) the exploitation of these properties in important areas of application. These include the design of optical amplifiers and lasers, as well as novel optical switches. Research topics in this volume include how to exploit the magnetooptic effect, how to work with the nonlinear optical response of materials, how to predict laser-induced breakdown in efficient optical devices, and how to handle electron cloud distortion in femtosecond processes.

This book is mostly concerned on the experimental research of the nonlinear optical characteristics of various media, low- and high-order harmonic generation in different materials, and formation, and nonlinear optical characterization of clusters. We also demonstrate the inter-connection between these areas of nonlinear optics. Nonlinear optical properties of media such as optical limiting can be applied in various areas of science and technology. To define suitable materials for these applications, one has to carefully analyse the nonlinear optical characteristics of various media, such as the nonlinear refractive indices, coefficients of nonlinear absorption, saturation absorption intensities, etc. Knowing the nonlinear optical parameters of materials is also important for describing the propagation effects, self-interaction of intense laser pulses, and optimisation of various nonlinear optical processes. Among those processes one can admit the importance of the studies of the frequency conversion of coherent laser sources. The area of interest for nonlinear optical characterization of materials is also closely related with new field of nanostructures formation and application during laser-matter interaction. We show how the nonlinear optical analysis of materials leads to improvement of their high-order nonlinear optical response during the interaction with strong laser fields. Ablation-induced nanoparticles formation is correlated with their applications as efficient sources of coherent short-wavelength photons. From other side, recent achievements of harmonic generation in plasmas are closely related with the knowledge of the properties of materials in the laser plumes. All of these studies are concerned with the low-order nonlinear optical features of various materials. The novelty of the approach developed in present book is related with inter-connection of those studies with each other.
