PHOSCTECH’s KTP crystals feature high purity, low absorption at fundamental and second harmonic generation wavelengths. We supply super grade and customer-designed KTP crystals for various applications.
Advantages:
·Large nonlinear optical (NLO) coefficients.
·Wide angular bandwidth and small walk-off angle
·Broad temperature and spectral bandwidths
·High electro-optic (E-O) coefficient and low dielectric constant
·Large figure of merit for an optical waveguide modulator
·Non-hygroscopic, good chemical and mechanical properties
Applications:
·Frequency doubling (SHG) of Nd-doped lasers for green/red output
·Frequency mixing (SFM) of Nd lasers and diode lasers for blue output
·Parametric sources(OPG, OPA and OPO)for 0.6μm-4.5μm tunable output
·E-O modulators, optical switches, directional couplers
·Optical waveguides for integrated NLO and E-O devices
