KDP, KD*P (DKDP) Crystal for SHG, THG and SFG applications
kdp-nonlinear-crystal
  • Wide transparency region
  • Broad Type 1 and Type 2
  • Non-critical phase-matching (NCPM) range
  • Small walk-off angle
  • High damage threshold
  • Wide acceptance angle
  • High optical homogeneity
  • Potassium Dihydrogen Phosphate (KDP crystal) and Potassium Dideuterium Phosphate (KD*P or DKDP crystal) has a high nonlinear coefficient, which allows it to efficiently convert laser radiation to higher frequencies, such as second harmonic generation (SHG), third harmonic generation (THG), and sum-frequency generation (SFG).

    Notes

  • AR/HR/PR coatings are available at your specified wavelength.
  • Be sure to wear laser safety goggles when checking optical path and adjusting optical axis.
  • KDP, KD*P (DKDP) Crystal is relatively soft and therefore requires precautions to protect its polished surfaces.
  • When angle adjusting is necessary, keep in mind that the acceptance angle of KDP, KD*P (DKDP) Crystal is small.
