Title: Effect of Ar+ ion implantation to enhance non-linear optical property on the L-Proline-doped Potassium hydrogen phthalate single crystals

Abstract

Single crystals of semiorganic potassium hydrogen phthalate crystals and L-Proline amino acid doped potassium hydrogen phthalate crystals were implemented with 10KeV Aa ions at various fluencies of 1 x 1015 5 x 1015, 1 x 1016 and 5 x 106 ions / cm2 to enhance their nonlinear optical property. The study reveals that Ar ion irradiation indicated the role of defects which could have influenced the non linear optical behavior.
