Abstract
Single-crystals of potassium hydrogen phthalate (KAP) doped with coumarin 6 (C6) were grown by solution evaporation technique. Powder X-ray diffraction, optical transmission and luminescence measurements were performed. The structure and morphology of the KAP crystals are not changed with the incorporation of the dye. Transparency of the dye-doped crystals is suited for non-linear optical (NLO) applications and UV cut-off is not changed when compared with the pure KAP crystals. The dye-doped crystals present an absorption band at 350 nm while the growth solution exhibits a peak at 400 nm. The doped crystals have a strong emission band at 450 nm that is excited at 350 nm and the second harmonic generating (SHG) properties are demonstrated using luminescence measurements.
