The intermolecular interaction of the grown crystal is studied by Fourier Transform Infrared and Raman spectroscopy.
The lower dielectric values emphasis the high optical quality of the grown crystal.
The theoretical calculations for polarizability and optical constants were carried out.
The third-order nonlinear optical parameters were measured for the first time.
The negative nonlinear refractive index shows the self-defocusing nature of SHMT.
