Figure: 6.2 Schematic representation of different particle size dependences for phase-<br />

matchable and non-phase matchable materials.<br />

By omitting all parameters, which are identical due to using the same<br />

experimental set up, powder size etc., the equations are simplified as [2],<br />

Traditionally, the materials used to measure second order nonlinear<br />

optical behavior are inorganic crystals, such as, lithium niobate (LiNbO3) [3,<br />

4], potassium dihydrogen phosphate (KDP) [5], ammonium dihydrogen<br />

phosphate (ADP) [6, 7], potassium titanyl phosphate (KTP) [8].<br />

The NLO family is expanding very rapidly; however, it is difficult to cover<br />

all different types of NLO materials crystals reported in the literature.<br />

However, different types of NLO materials in terms of their NLO properties are<br />

described in detail in chapter-1.<br />

As already discussed earlier potassium dihydrogen phosphate (KH2PO4<br />

or KDP) single crystals have a high laser damage threshold, a large non-<br />

linear optical coefficient, good structural quality and mechanical properties,
