Abstract :
Summary form only given. Organic crystals exhibit very large optical nonlinearities. This originates from the large hyperpolarizabilities of the individual molecules. The very high values of SHG efficiency (1000 times that of urea powder) and electro-optic coefficients of DAST makes it potentially useful for many applications in electro-optics. This has generated a genuine interest in the thin-film crystal growth of DAST.
