Abstract

Potassium acid phthalate (KAP) crystals are promising as substrates for the growth of highly oriented films of conjugated polymers with exceedingly high and fast nonlinear optical response. We report the KAP optical properties (real and imaginary parts of the refractive index ñ = n + ik) in the near infrared and visible range deduced by ellipsometric measurements and direct inversion of transmittance and near-normal incidence absolute reflectance measurements. In the infrared region n was also deduced by the interference fringes.
