AB  - Nonlinear optical single crystals are getting attention because of its enormous 
      applications in the area of fiber optic communication and optical signal 
      processing. In this article, we are reporting the single crystal growth of 
      l-lysine monohydrochloride by slow evaporation solution growth technique, by 
      using double distilled water as the solvent. We found that the grown single 
      crystal is bulk in size and fairly transparent. But after a period of time, due 
      to its hygroscopic nature, the transparency is completely vanished and became 
      opaque. Then we have attempted to coat the poly methyl methacrylate (PMMA) 
      polymer on the surface of l-lysine monohydrochloride (l-LMHCL) single crystal by 
      dip coating method. This polymer coating is giving resistance to hygroscopic 
      nature and also acting as thin protective covering layer without affecting the 
      other properties. Then we have systematically studied the different properties of 
      bare, polymer coated and hygroscopic l-LMCHL single crystals. Its crystalline 
      perfection was examined by high resolution X-ray diffractometer and found major 
      differences in crystalline quality. Its structural and optical behavior was 
      assessed by powder X-ray diffraction, UV-vis and luminescence analyses.
