KTP Nonlinear crystal Potassium Titanyl Phosphate

Potassium Titanyl Phosphate (KTiOPO4 or KTP) is widely used in both commercial and military lasers including laboratory and medical systems, range-finders, lidar, optical communication and industrial systems.



Descriptions:


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
