Abstract
Single crystals of 4-aminobenzophenone, a nonlinear optical(NLO) mater ial have been grown successfully by a novel solution growth as well as modified Bridgman-Stockbarger techniques. The transmission spectrum ( 420-1400 nm) and SHG efficiencies were determined. 4-Aminobenzophenone crystals gave a lower limit on the second harmonic generation (SHG) e fficiency of 10%. Laser damage threshold measurements conducted at the indicated wavelengths gave values of 1-2 GW/cm(2).
