Abstract

The optical and nonlinear optical properties of 2-cyclooctylamino-5-nitropyridine (COANP) have been investigated. The refractive indices exhibit strong dispersion and a high birefringence (0.15 - 0.3) in the visible. The three main refractive indices at λ = 550nm are n_a = 1.670, n_b= 1.875 and n_c= 1.683. Calculations carried out show interesting critical (frequency-doubling of λ = 1064 nm (Nd:YAG laser)) and noncritical phase-matching properties. The nonlinear optical susceptibilities d₃₂ = (32±16) pm/V and d33 = (13.7±2) pm/V were measured.
