KTP Crystal


He Rui optics' KTP crystal, also known as Potassium Titanyl Phosphate (chemical formula KTiOPO4), is an inorganic crystal widely used in the field of nonlinear optics. KTP crystals are primarily used for frequency doubling in solid-state Nd lasers, such as Nd:YAG or Nd:YVO4 lasers.

HeRui Optics' KTP features,

http://www.newlightphotonics.com/v1/images/triangle.gif Large nonlinear optical coefficients
http://www.newlightphotonics.com/v1/images/triangle.gif Wide angular bandwidth and small walk-off angle
http://www.newlightphotonics.com/v1/images/triangle.gif Broad temperature and spectral bandwidth
http://www.newlightphotonics.com/v1/images/triangle.gif Nonhydroscopic, chemically and mechanically stable
http://www.newlightphotonics.com/v1/images/triangle.gif High thermal conductivity
http://www.newlightphotonics.com/v1/images/triangle.gif Flux grown, extremely low cost compared to KTA, BBO and LBO

These favorable features enables KTP to be widely used for frequency doubling (SHG) or sum frequency mixing (SFG) to generate Red/Green/Blue (RGB) outputs, and for optical parameteric oscillator (OPO) or optical parametric amplifier (OPA) to generate visible to mid-infrared tunable wavelengths. KTP is also used in many electro-optic (E-O) devices such as Q-switches and E-O modulators.
