Abstract
N-(4-nitrophenyl)-L-prolinol (NPP) is an organic molecular crystal developped by molecular engineering,1 that exhibits one of the highest phase-matchable second-order susceptibilities reported so far in the near-infrared spectral range (deff ≈ 56 pm/V). However, the large spatial and temporal walk-off existing in NPP can limit severely the usefulness of the material away from the noncritical phase-matching (ncpm) wavelength and for shorter pulses.
