Popis: The organometallic nonlinear optical material Dichlorobis (l-proline) zinc (II) (DCBPZ) was crystallized using solution growth technique. XRD data reveal that the grown crystal belongs to orthorhombic system with space group P212121. The crystals were characterized using UV-vis-NIR, FTIR and NMR spectral studies, SEM-EDAX analysis and Atomic force microscopy (AFM), thermal and microhardness studies. Photoconductivity measurements were made to understand the response of the grown material to the visible light. The SHG efficiency of DCBPZ was also measured using Kurtz and Perry powder technique. It is observed that the NLO activity of DCBPZ is found to be twice that of KDP due to improved linear and nonlinear optical properties of the material.
