Optical and thermophysical properties of copper sulphate pentahydrate single crystal for transmission ultra-violet filter and optical communication applications

Copper sulphate pentahydrate (CSPH) single crystal is identified as an admirable material used for transmission UV optical filter and optical communication applications. CSPH crystal was grown via Sankaranarayanan and Ramasamy (SR) technique. The well quality and enhanced size of 80 x 13 mm(2) single crystal was harvested in a 60 days period. The crystal has been utilized for dissimilar characterisations of UV-Vis NIR testing to identify the maximum transmission of 79% at 435 nm and EDAX analysis exhibits the elements present in the grown crystal. Mechanical analysis of CSPH single crystal result indicates that the soft material type. Thermo-gravimetric analysis and Differential thermal analysis (TGA/DTA) carry out the materials occurs different weight loss and stable point of the grown crystal. In this article, for the first time reported photoacoustic spectroscopy studies and it has been utilised to identify the grown crystal thermal transport properties. It is needed for optical and thermal related applications. The different characterization results show that the important advantages of the Ultra-violet filter and optical communication applications.
