Semi Organic Potassium Hydrogen Phthalate single crystal with amino acid L-Phenylalanine as a dopant was grown by slow evaporation technique. The grown crystals were subjected to powder XRD analysis, and the result confirms that the crystals were belongs to orthorhombic structure. The Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy study confirms the incorporation of L-Phenylalanine in to Potassium Hydrogen Phthalate crystal. The optical transparency of the grown crystal was studied by UV-Visible
