Bulk crystals of Caminobenzophenone (ABP) were grown from organic solu
tion. The crystal structure was determined by X-ray analysis. The refr
active indices were determined by the method of prism minimum deviatio
n. Some effective nonlinear-optical coefficients d(eff) were measured.
A blue second-harmonic emission with wavelengths of 433 and 460 nm we
re observed during laser diode pumping.
