Abstract
A bulk organic single crystal of phenothiazine measuring 65 mm in length and 10 mm in width was grown using the single zone vertical Bridgman technique (VBT), which was visible to the naked eye. Powder X-ray diffraction, also known as XRD, was used in order to perform crystal structural verification on the manufactured crystal. The Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) approach was used in order to ascertain the crystals’ respective vibrational frequencies. In order to evaluate the single crystal’s crystalline perfection and optical quality, high-resolution X-ray diffraction rocking curve measurement (HRXRD) and UV transmittance spectrum analysis were used. So as to investigate the nonlinear optical (NLO) activity of the generated single crystals, a Q-switched and pulsed Nd: YAG laser was used in the research. This led to the discovery of the SHG efficiency. The single crystal’s mechanical strength was evaluated using Vicker’s microhardness measurement, which provided an approximation of the true value. Furthermore, the single crystal was examined and reported for its optical birefringence, photoluminescence, and refractive index.
