Abstract
Single crystals of urea L-malic acid were grown by the slow evaporation technique. The single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis reveals that the crystal belongs to the monoclinic system. The optical transmission study reveals the transparency of the crystal in the entire visible region and the cut off wavelength has been found to be 210 nm. The optical band gap is found to be 5.90 eV. Optical constants such as the band gap, refractive index, reflectance, extinction coefficient and the real (er) and imaginary (ei) components of the dielectric constant and electric susceptibility were determined from the UV-VIS-NIR spectrum. Dielectric constant and dielectric loss of urea L-malic acid are measured in the frequency range from 50 Hz to 5 MHz at different temperatures. The relative second harmonic generation efficiency of urea L-malic acid crystal has been tested by Kurtz-Perry powder technique.

Summary
The recent tremendous advances in the area of solid state lasers and nonlinear optics have been mainly driven by the development of new materials, having better properties than the standard ones. A very important group of these new materials is single crystals, which possess excellent properties, such as a high damage threshold for laser radiation, high coefficients of second harmonics generation, transparency far into ultraviolet, high optical quality, and good chemical and mechanical stability. With rapid progress in the crystal growth technology, crystals having attractive nonlinear properties are being discovered. This has enabled the commercial development of single crystals with promising nonlinear optical properties. In the present investigation we report the optical and electrical properties of the urea L-malic acid crystal
