Abstract

Bisthiourea lithium zinc sulfate (BTLZS) single crystals have remarkable nonlinear optical properties. The crystals were prepared using slow evaporation of solution growth techniques (SEST). The crystal structure and crystalline properties of the synthesized crystals was conducted with powder XRD and SCXRD techniques, respectively. The orthorhombic system of BTLZS crystal has been identified with space group Pca21. The existence of vibrational functional groups in the synthesized crystal was confirmed by FTIR spectroscopy. The optical parameters were determined through UV-Vis-NIR transmission spectra. The synthesized BTLZS demonstrated that the emission of green light at 581 nm within its photoluminescence (PL) spectra. The Kurtz and Perry powder method serves as a means to explore the nonlinear optical properties of synthetic crystals. The enhanced second harmonic generation (SHG) has 1.63 times more efficiency than standard postassium dihydrogen phosphate (KDP) crystal. The analysis on thermal and laser damage thresholds shows that this crystal demonstrates stability and holds promise for applications in optoelectronic devices.
