This book serves as an introduction to the growth phenomena, specifics of growth processes, nonlinear optical phenomena, and characterization methods that are being used for the analysis. The book is divided into three chapters: The first chapter focuses on the experimental techniques of crystal growth. The optimization methods for growing high-quality single crystals are thoroughly presented. The benefits and drawbacks of methods of growth are reviewed. The second chapter explains the theory of nonlinear optical phenomena. The selection criteria for nonlinear optical materials are reviewed. The history of nonlinear optics and the various types of nonlinear optical materials are discussed. The role of amino acids in the formation of nonlinear optical crystals is well explained. The third chapter discusses characterization procedures that are essential in determining the quality of crystals.
