Abstract
The study of defects in hydrogen-bonded molecular solids yields information about the physics of these materials and about their suitability for technological applications. One important issue is defect generation by means of intense ultraviolet (UV) optical excitation. Recently,1 we reported the first observation and characterization, to our knowledge, of an electronic defect generated by UV, two-photon optical excitation in potassium dihydrogen phosphate (KDP) and potassium dideu-terium phosphate (DKDP).
