Abstract: An investigation was made of the absorption spectra of polarized light, dispersion of principal refractive indices, and collinear phase matching in the generation of the second harmonic of λ = 1.06 μ laser radiation in molecular crystals of meta-tolylenediamine. The relative values of all the independent components of the quadratic susceptibility tensor were determined for these crystals and the value of the second-harmonic conversion coefficient was found. It was concluded that meta-tolylenediamine crystals were promising frequency doublers.
