Book Description
: 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.

Book Description
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.

Book Description
This volume exposes the chemistry community to the critical role that chemistry can and must play in nonlinear optics research. In addition, it brings together those researchers who synthesize and characterize materials from a variety of systems, with those who build devices, giving chemists, physicists, and engineers a greater appreciation for the opportunities that lie ahead in understanding and developing nonlinear optical materials. The volume begins with a discussion of polarizability and hyperpolarizability from the view of a chemist. Tutorial chapters dealing with the fundamental structures and properties of second- and third-order nonlinear optical materials, measurement and characterization of these systems, theoretical considerations, application of these systems to devices, and overviews of the current state of affairs in both organic and inorganic nonlinear optical materials follow.

Book Description
UV-VIS spectroscopy is one of the oldest methods in molecular spectroscopy. The definitive formulation of the Bouguer-Lambert Beer law in 1852 created the basis for the quantitative evaluation of absorption measurements at an early date. This led firstly to colorimetry, then to photometry and finally to spectrophotometry. This evolution ran parallel with the development of detectors for measuring light intensities, i.e. from the human eye via the photo element and photocell, to the photomultiplier and from the photo graphic plate to the present silicon-diode detector both of which allow simultaneous measurement of the complete spectrum. With the development of quantum chemistry, increasing atten tion was paid to the correlation between light absorption and the structure of matter with the result that in recent decades a number of excellent discussions of the theory of electronic spectroscopy (UV-VIS and luminescence sp,~ctroscopy) have been published. Consequently, this extremely ivteresting aspect of molecular spec troscopy has dominated the teaching of the subject both in my own lectures and those of others. However, it is often overlooked that, in addition to the theory, applications of spectroscopic methods are of particular interest to scientists. For this reason, a lecture series about electronic spectroscopy given in the Institute for Physical Chemistry at the Heinrich-Heine-University in Dusseldorf was supplemented by one about "UV-VIS spectroscopy and its applications". This formed the basis of the present book.
