Abstract

This paper explores the correlation of electro-optical properties with dielectric properties of an organic single crystal. The optical constants of the organic aminopyridine single crystal have been studied. The second harmonic generation efficiency of the grown crystal, based on powder measurement, is 2.9 times higher than that of KDP. The real and imaginary part of the complex refractive index and dielectric constant of the crystal were determined. The optical and electrical conductivity of the grown crystal were studied.
