KTP Crystal
for Optical Parametric Oscillation (OPO) and SHG@1064nm to 532nm applications
KTP crystal (KTiOPO4 or Potassium titanyl phosphate) is a nonlinear optical material commonly appilication for frequency doubling of Nd:YAG lasers and other Nd-doped lasers, particularly at a low or medium-power density.
KTP crystal exhibits a high optical quality, broad transparency range, wide acceptance angle, small walk-off, and type I and II non-critical phase-matching (NCPM) in a wide wavelength range. KTP crystal has a relatively high effective SHG coefficient (about 3 times higher than that for KDP) and fairly high damage threshold (>500 MW/cm²).
KTP nonlinear crystals can be used as a nonlinear OPO medium for IR generation up to 4 µm and used as a pump source for mid-IR nonlinear crystal-based optical parametric oscillators, such as ZGP OPO
