Abstract

A new organic NLO material 4-Bromoanilinium hydrogen phthalate was grown by slow evaporation technique. The solubility and metastable zone width were determined. The crystal belongs to monoclinic system with space group C2. Optical transmittance spectrum confirms the wide optical window. Absorption coefficient and band gap were calculated from transmittance. The thermal stability, laser-induced surface damage threshold and mechanical behaviour were analysed. The particle size-dependent second harmonic generation efficiency was evaluated by Kurtz–Perry powder method and existence of phase matching. The third-order optical study was measured by Z-scan studies. The dispersion of birefringence behaviour was studied.
