Description
KTA | Non-Linear Crystal is an excellent nonlinear optical crystal for OPO applications. OPO devices based on KTA are reliable solid-state sources of tunable laser radiation exhibiting energy conversion efficiencies above 50%. In addition, KTA has a very high damage threshold and lower absorption in the 3-4 µm spectrum range than KTP.
ADVANTAGES
- Large nonlinear optical and electro-optical coefficient
- Wide angular bandwidth and small walk-off angle
- Temperature and spectral bandwidth
- Low dielectric constant, loss tangent, and ionic conductivities
- High damage threshold
- Highly resistant to high-intensity laser radiation
MAIN APPLICATIONS
- An excellent NLO crystal developed mainly for Optical Parametric Oscillation
- Frequency doubling (SHG@1083nm~3789nm)
- Sum and difference frequency generation
- Electro-optical Q-switch and modulation for optical waveguides
