Cadmium sulphide nanoparticles were prepared by microwave assisted method using cadmium acetate as cadmium source and sodium sulphide as sulphur source. The prepared sample is characterized by XRD, FTIR, FESEM, UV-Vis spectroscopy and VSM. X-ray diffraction shows the CdS in cubic phase. FESEM image reveals particle like structure. From the FTIR spectra showed a characteristics Cd-S stretching vibration at 613 cm-1. Optical bandgap of CdS nanoparticles is estimated as 2.58 eV. The second harmonic generation efficiency (SHG) is 2.42 times of KDP. Vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) provided the hysteresis curve with magnetic saturation value of CdS nanoparticles is 0.022 emu/g.
