Chapter VI UV-Vis Spectroscopic….<br />

Conclusion<br />

1. As the doping level of amino acids increased the SHG efficiency<br />

increased.<br />

The effect of doping on SHG efficiency is roughly the same for all three<br />

dopant Viz. L-histidine, L-threonine and DL-methionine. The interaction<br />

of amino acids through hydrogen bond with KDP crystal may be<br />

responsible for enhanced SHG efficiency.<br />

2. The UV cut-off frequency increased and the UV cut off limits except<br />

for L-<br />

threonine doped crystal decreased slightly as the doping increased.<br />

For obtaining higher percentage optical transmission in KDP crystals<br />

by doping L-histidine and DL-methionine, There was slight sacrifice in<br />

the UV cut-off limits. The percentage optical transmission for L-<br />

threonine doped KDP crystals was higher than pure and L-histidine and<br />

DL-methionine doped KDP crystals, but the UV cut-off limit remained<br />

almost constant without any deteoration.<br />

3. Looking at SHG efficiency data, UV cut-off limit and percentage<br />

transmission data, it could be concluded that L-threonine doping in<br />

KDP was a better option compared to other two amino acids.<br />
