M. Sagawa et al., GENERATION OF A VIOLET PHASE-MATCHED 2ND-HARMONIC WAVE WITH A NEW ORGANIC SINGLE-CRYSTAL, 8-(4'-ACETYLPHENYL)-1,4-DIOXA-8-AZASPIRO[4.5] DECANE, Applied physics letters, 63(14), 1993, pp. 1877-1879
A new organic nonlinear optical material, 8-(4'-acetylphenyl)-1, 4-dio
xa-8-azaspiro[4.5]decane (APDA) was synthesized. Under collinear type
I phase-matching conditions, second-harmonic beams in a 380-450 nm wav
elength region were obtained from a Ti-sapphire laser pumping with the
single crystal. Nonlinear optical properties and sample preparation o
f the single crystal are reported.
