Frequently Asked Questions

KTP crystal is an excellent nonlinear optical material suitable for use in many optical systems. Its most popular application is as a frequency doubler utilizing the 1064nm output of a Nd:YAG laser and to generate 532nm laser. KTP’s properties also make it superior for electro-optic modulation, optical parametric generation.

The advantages of KTP crystal are high conversion efficiency, high damage threshold, wide temperature acceptance, and stable quality.

The specifications of KTP crystal include dimension tolerance, angle tolerance, surface quality, parallelism, flatness, wavefront distortion, coatings, and damage threshold.

Due to the unique combination of its properties – high nonlinear coefficient, high damage threshold, non-hygroscopic, KTP can be used in both commercial and military lasers including medical and laboratory systems, range finders, designators and systems for use in semiconductor industry.
