Abstract
Ammonium dihydrogen phosphate (ADP) crystal utilizes several applications such as Q-switching, electro-optical, and second harmonic generation in nonlinear optics. In the present article, a good-quality single crystal of ADP was grown via Sankaranarayanan–Ramasamy (SR) method for the dimension of 120 mm in length and 12 mm in diameter. The grown ADP crystal is used for diverse characterizations like FTIR spectral study, Vickers microhardness, second harmonic generation, photoluminescence, and chemical etching analysis. The photoacoustic spectroscopy analysis was used to study the thermal diffusivity of the sample. Thermal transport properties of the crystal are required for all types of heat transfer incidences and furthermore used in several applications like acousto-optical, Nd:YAG, and Nd:YLF lasers. A dielectric property was investigated for the grown crystal with dissimilar temperatures, and it was apt for electro-optical and Q-switching applications.
