Abstract

The techniques developed for purification of nonlinear optical organic materials, such as benzil, 2-methyl-4-nitroaniline (MNA), Dicyanovinyl anisole (DIVA) and its derivatives, nitrophenyl prolinol (NPP) and other Schiff's base compounds, include Kugelrohy method, physical vapor transport, zone refining and recrystallization from the solvent are described. Purity of the materials is tested using differential thermal analysis, gas chromatograph/Mass detector, Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy and melting point measurements. The purified materials were later used in the growth of single crystal by Bridgman-Stockbarger and Czochralski techniques.
