Description
KTP | Non-Linear Crystal is the most widely used material for frequency doubling of YAG(Nd) and other Nd-doped lasers, particularly when the power density is at a low or medium level. Extra and intra cavity frequency doubled Nd lasers using KTP have become a preferred pumping source for visible dye lasers and tunable Sapphire(Ti) lasers, as well as their amplifiers. It is also a useful green source for many research and industry applications.
ADVANTAGES
- Large nonlinear optical coefficient
- Wide angular bandwidth and small walk-off angle
- Broad temperature and spectral bandwidth
- High electro-optic coefficient and low dielectric constant
- Large figure of merit
- Minimum mismatch gradient
- Nonhydroscopic
- Chemically and mechanically stable
MAIN APPLICATIONS
- Frequency doubling (SHG) of Nd-doped lasers for green/red light generation
- Frequency mixing (SFM) of Nd laser and diode laser for blue light generation
- 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
- Etc.
