KTP Nonlinear crystal Potassium Titanyl Phosphate is the most commonly used material for frequency doubling of Nd-doped lasers, particularly at the low or medium power density. It is widely used for frequency mixing to generate Red/Green/Blue output, and for OPO and OPA to generate visible to mid-infrared tunable output. It is also used for many E-O devices such as Q-switches and E-O modulators.
Main applications:
1) Frequency Doubling (SHG) of Nd-doped Lasers for Green/Red Output;
2) Frequency Mixing (SFM) of Nd Laser and Diode Laser for Blue Output;
3) Parametric Sources (OPG, OPA and OPO) for 600nm - 4500nm Tunable Ouptut;
4) E-O Modulators, Optical Switches, Directional Couplers;
5) Optical Waveguides for Integrated NLO and E-O DevicesOPA and OPO.
Advantages:
1) Large nonlinear optical coefficient;
2) Wide angular bandwidth and small walk-off angle
3) Broad temperature and spectral bandwidth;
4) High Electro-Optics(E-O) coefficient and low dielectric constant;
5) Non-hygroscopic, chemically and mechanically stable
