Non-linear Crystal Potassium Titanyl Phosphate (KTiOPO4 or KTP)
Print this frame

Potassium Titanyl Phosphate (KTiOPO4 or KTP) is an excellent non-linear crystal. It exhibits high optical quality, broad transparent range, relatively high effective SHG coefficient (about 3 times higher than that of KDP), very high optical damage threshold, wide acceptance angle, small walk-off, and type I and type II non-critical phase-matching (NCPM) in a wide wavelength range. KTP is the most commonly used material for frequency doubling of Nd:YAG lasers and other Nd-doped lasers, particularly at the low or medium power density. The properties of KTP make it superior as an electrooptic modulator as well as an optical waveguide device, including phase modulators, amplitude modulators and directional couplers.
