NONLINEAR OPTICAL PROPERTIES OF METHANE SULPHONYL MORPHOLINE (MSM) SINGLE CRYSTALS GROWN BY CONVENTIONAL AND SANAKARANARAYANAN-RAMASAMY METHOD

The growth and properties of Methane Sulphonyl Morpholine (MSM) organic single crystal, is reported. MSM crystals were grown by Conventional and Sankaranarayanan-Ramasamy (SR) method.  The grown crystals have been characterized for their structural, optical, mechanical, dielectric, laser damage threshold, Photo acoustic, thermal and NLO properties. The results of Conventional and SR method have been compared. It has been observed that the SR method grown crystal have enhanced properties throughout the studies and this observation revealed improved quality of the crystals that give a positive approach towards NLO applications
