Significant improvement of crystalline perfection in L-asparagine monohydrate single crystals was achieved by annealing. As a result of the improvement in crystalline perfection, remarkable enhancement in second harmonic generation efficiency, optical transparency, fluorescence intensity and dielectric properties was observed.

A large and unidirectional single crystal of L-cysteine hydrochloride monohydrate has been grown for the first time by the recently invented Sankaranarayanan–Ramasamy method. This crystal was found to possess good nonlinear optical properties, which, along with other optical and dielectric properties, revealed that the title compound is a good candidate for photonic applications.
