Potassium dihydrogen phosphate (KDP) and were well known nonlinear optical material for various optoelectronics applications. KDP continues to be interesting materials both academically and industrially. Since amino acids exhibit NLO property, it is of interest to dope them in KDP. In present study single crystals of pure and LATF doped KDP in different ratios has been grown by slow evaporation solution technique. The crystallinity and cell parameters were characterized by X-ray diffraction analysis, the shifting in frequency assignment of different functional group of KDP due to addition of LATF were analyzed by FTIR analysis. The enhancement in transmittance of grown KDP with addition of LATF at different ratios was determined by UV-Visible spectral analysis. The presence of dopant in the sample of grown crystal was confirmed by energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDAX). The grown crystals subjected to various characterizations will be discussed.
