New Class Of Nonlinear Optical Crystals Among Arginine Salts

Abstract

A considerable number of new crystalline compounds were prepared by reacting L-arginine (L-Arg) with a series of inorganic (HF, HCl, HBr, H3PO4, HNO3, HClO3, HBrO3, HIO3), and organic (mono- and dicarboxylic) acids. In addition to the usual arginine salts with composition L-Arg·HX, where HX represents various acids, an entirely new class of crystals with the composition L-Arg·2HX was discovered. Due to the presence of the optically active L-arginine component, all these crystals had noncentrosymmetric structures. Most of the crystals prepared in this study gave strong phase-matched second harmonic generation signals with a Nd:YAG laser, and some appear quite promising for nonlinear optical applications.
