The photorefractive composites fabricated by blending NLO chromophores such as 3-(4-{bis-[4-(2-ethylhexyloxy)-phenyl]-amino}-phenyl)-2-isocyano-acrylonitrile (PAIA), bis-[4-(2-ethyl-hexyloxy)-phenyl]-{4-[2-(4-nitrophenyl)-vinyl]-phenyl}-amine (PNPA) with photoconducting crosslinkable matrix, bis-(4-ethynylphenyl)-(4-octyloxyphenyl)-amine (BEOPEA), showed photorefractive property due to the high composition of NLO chromophores caused by introducing alkoxy chain, and many problems faced in typical organic photorefractive systems such as timeconsuming chemical synthesis, difficulty in rational design, intrinsic instability and phase separation could be avoided.

The composites fabricated by blending nonlinear optical (NLO) chromophore such as {4-[2-(4-nitrophenyl)-vinyl] phenyl}diphenylamine (NVPDA) with photoconducting crosslinkable matrix, bis-(4-ethynylphenyl)-(4-octyloxy-phenyl)amine (BEOPEA), showed photorefractive property. Many problems faced in typical organic photorefractive systems such as time-consuming chemical synthesis, difficulty in rational design, intrinsic instability and phase separation could be avoided by this fabrication method.

In this study, we have investigated the development of the crystal growth stability and reproducibility for large and high-quality DAST. DAST crystal were grown from a saturated methanol solution by a slow cooling method and DAST was synthesized by the condensation of 4-methyl-n-methyl pyridinum tosylate, which was prepared from 4-pocoline and methyl toluenesulponate and 4-N-dimethyl amino-bezaldehyde in the presence of piperidine. We had synthesized DAST crystals in dry Argon atmosphere in order to avoid the formation of hydride organge co-crystals, DAST$.$$H_2O$. Since DAST molecules crystallize in a humid atmosphere, crystal structure become centrosymmetric, and then second order NLO (nonlinear optical) properties would be disappeared. We fixed the growth orientation of DAST crystal (001) surface. The crystal growth was proceeded at a cooling rate of $H_2O$/day and the cooling period is for 4 days. The dimensions of seed crystal was $2.5\times 3.6\times0.4\textrm{mm}^3$ and we have obtained a DAST crystal with the dimension of $10\times 10.5\times3.0\textrm{mm}^3$. The color of grown DAST crystal is red and it's surface appears to be metallic green.
