The structural perfection of the grown crystal was analyzed by high- resolution X-ray diffraction (rocking curve) measurements. UV-Visible-NIR spectral analysis was used to determine the optical constants and band gap of GP. The nature of variation of dielectric constant with frequency at different temperatures was investigated. Third-order optical nonlinearities of GP crystal were investigated. Etch patterns of the grown crystal quality were studied. Keywords: X-ray diffraction, Growth from solut
