Figure 3
Second harmonic generation analysis to show polarity formation in micrometer thin crystal plates of 4-bromo-4′-nitrobiphenyl (BNBP) grown from the melt. White dotted line: central area where growth occurred. (a) Linear optical image of the crystal surrounded by a white dotted line. (b) Presence of polarity (dark green) in both the upper and lower sectors. (c) and (d) effect of phase contrast for the lower and upper sector. |
