Abstract
Single crystals of tartaric acid lithium sulfate (TALS), a semi-organic nonlinear optical crystal has been successfully grown by slow evaporation solution growth technique. Single crystals were grown in a life span of 3 weeks. The grown crystals were characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction to identify the lattice parameters. Fourier Transform Infra Red studies confirm the presence of various functional groups present in the crystal. Optical, mechanical, microscopic image and thermal stabilities of the title crystal was carried out to know the properties of the titled compound. Third order non-liner studies have also been studied by Z-scan techniques. Nonlinear absorption and nonlinear refractive index were found out and the third order bulk susceptibility of compound was also estimated. The negative sign in the refractive index indicates the self-defocusing nature of the crystal.
