Message: | Potassium Titanium Oxide Phosphate (KTiOPO4 ), or KTP, is an efficient nonlinear optical crystal in the visible to infrared spectral region with relatively low cost. It has large nonlinear coefficient. The effective nonlinear optical coefficient of KTP deff at 1064nm is more than 1.5 times that of BBO.
Main Features
• Wide Angular Bandwidth and Small Walk-off Angle
• Broad Temperature and Spectral Bandwidth
• High Electro-Optic (E-O) Coefficient and Low Dielectric Constant
• Large Figure of Merit for an Optical Waveguide Modulator
• Nonhygroscopic, Good Chemical and Mechanical Properties
• Efficient frequency conversion(1064nm SHG conversion efficiency is about 80%)
• Large nonlinear optical coefficients
• High thermal conductivity
• Minimum mismatch gradient
• Low cost compare with BBO and LBO
Typical Applications
• Frequency Mixing (SFM) of Nd Laser and Diode Laser for Blue Output
• Frequency Doubling (SHG) of Nd-doped Lasers for Green/Red Output
• Parametric Sources (OPG, OPA and OPO) for 0.6um-4.5um Tunable Output
• E-O Modulators, Optical Switches, Directional Couplers
• Optical Waveguides for Integrated NLO and E-O Devices. |
