The electro-optic properties and their frequency dispersion of the2-amino-5-nitropyridium monohydrogen L-tartrate(2A5NPLT)are investigated at room temperature at a wavelength of 632.8nm. The results show a large increase (more than three times higher) of the electro-optic coefficient values in the 2A5NPLT crystal compared with the 2A5NPDP crystal, which is one of the first crystals engineered with the 2-amino-5- nitropyridine highly polarizable chromophore
