Abstract

The electro-optic properties and their frequency dispersion of the 2-amino-5-nitropyridium monohydrogen L-tartrate (2A5NPLT) are investigated at room temperature at a wavelength of 632.8 nm. The results show a large increase (more than three times higher) of the electro-optic coefficient values in the 2A5NPLT crystal compared with the 2A5NPDP crystal, which is one of the first crystals engineered with the 2-amino-5-nitropyridine highly polarizable chromophore.
