Description
Potassium Titanyl Phosphate (KTiOPO4), commonly known as KTP, is a remarkable nonlinear optical material that stands out due to its high nonlinear coefficient and stable physical properties. This crystal is highly sought after in optical systems for its exceptional ability to double the frequency of the 1064 nm output from Nd:YAG lasers, resulting in a 532 nm laser output. The superior qualities of KTP also make it an excellent choice for electro-optic modulation and optical parametric generation, making it a versatile component in advanced optical applications. With over 20 years of experience in the growth and processing of KTP crystals, Crystech ensures the delivery of high-quality and efficient crystals. The crystal growth process has been meticulously optimized to enhance quality, while the specialized coating process is designed to offer a relatively higher damage threshold. This dedication to quality and precision underscores CRYSTECH's commitment to providing reliable and effective solutions for optical systems. KTP crystals are known for their orthorhombic crystal structure and colorless appearance, with a melting point around 1172°C and a Mohs hardness of 5. They are non-hygroscopic, ensuring chemical and mechanical stability, and have a thermal conductivity of 0.13 W/(cm*K). The crystals exhibit a wide transmitting range from 350 nm to 4500 nm, making them highly adaptable for various optical applications. The nonlinear optical coefficients and electro-optic properties of KTP further enhance its utility in complex optical systems. With a phase matching angle of θ=90° and φ=23.5° for type II SHG of a Nd:YAG laser at 1064 nm, KTP crystals offer precise and efficient performance. These attributes, combined with CRYSTECH's stringent processing standards, make KTP crystals a preferred choice for professionals in the field of optics.
