Potassium Titanyl Phosphate (KTiOPO4 or KTP) is a positive biaxial crystal, with the principal axes X, Y, and Z (nz>ny>nx) parallel to the crystallographic axes a, b, and c, respectively. It is a nonlinear crystal mostly used in extracavity configuration when a single pass through the crystal is required. KTP has large nonlinear coefficient and its effective nonlinear optical coefficient deff at 1064nm is more than 1.5 times that of BBO. Also, its damage threshold is near 1 GW/cm2 for 1 Hz 10 ns pulses at 1064nm.
KTP crystals from Photonchina are optimized for SHG intracavity configuration in low peak power CW lasers and are ideal choice in the visible to infrared spectral region with relatively low cost. They are widely seen in both commercial and military lasers including laboratory and medical system, range-finders, LiDAR, optical communication and industrial systems.
KTP features,
• Large nonlinear optical coefficients
• Wide angular bandwidth and small walk-off angle
• Broad temperature and spectral bandwidth
• Nonhydroscopic, chemically and mechanically stable
• High thermal conductivity
• Flux grown, extremely low cost compared to KTA, BBO and LBO
• High damage threshold, low absorption
• Production capacity to support industrial customers
• High performance optical coating, mounting service
Applications of Photonchina’s KTP:
In short, KTP mainly has the following usage,
Frequency Doubling (SHG) of Nd-doped Lasers for Green/Red Output
Frequency Mixing (SFM) of Nd Laser and Diode Laser for Blue Output
Parametric Sources (OPG, OPA and OPO) for 0.6mm-4.5mm Tunable Output
Electrical Optical(E-O) Modulators, Optical Switches, and Directional Couplers
Optical Waveguides for Integrated NLO and E-O Devices
