Abstract

L-arginine phosphate is a promising new material for generating harmonics of the Nd: YAG fundamental wavelength, 1064 nm. The synthesis of 20 other salts of L-arginine was attempted and millimeter size crystals of 10 of these were obtained. These were analyzed for crystal structure and chemical composition and the linear and nonlinear optical properties were measured. The compounds were all oprically biaxial and several gave second harmonic signals greater than quartz. Phasematching has been observed in four of the crystals to date.
