KTP(Electro-optic Crystal)

KTP(Electro-optic Crystal)

KTP-Electro-optic Crystal is also known as potassium titanium phosphate oxychloride crystal with the chemical formula KTiOPO4. It is a crystal product with excellent nonlinear and electro-optical properties.

KTP has a high electro-optical coefficient and low dielectric constant, can operate at high frequencies, and can be used as an electro-optical Q-modulation crystal.

KTP also has excellent frequency doubling properties: large nonlinear coefficient, no deflection angle, high optical damage threshold, and phase matching.

KTP crystals are advantageous due to their high nonlinearity, high mechanical stability, high optical quality, and transparency range of 350 nm—4500 nm, and these properties determine the wide application of KTP crystals that are widely used as nonlinear media.

It is an excellent solution for Nd-doped laser frequency doubling applications, especially for low- to medium-power applications in intra-cavity and extra-cavity designs. It also has a wide range of applications related to frequency doubling (SHG) of Nd-doped lasers with green/red output and frequency mixing (SFM) of Nd lasers and diode lasers with blue output.

Features of KTP-Electro-optic Crystal:

  • High damage threshold
  • High temperature stability
  • Low half-wave voltage
  • Easy to grow into large crystals
  • Large reception angle
  • High photoelectric coefficien
  • low dielectric constant
  • Wide temperature range and spectral range
