KTP crystal is the most commonly used for SHG(Frequency doubling) of Nd-doped laser for green/red output. It is widely used in laboratory and medical systems, range-finders, lidar, optical communication and industrial systems.
Advantages:
1. Large nonlinear optical coefficient
2. High electro-optic coefficient and low dielectric constant
3. High thermal conductivity
4. Moisture free, chemically and mechanically stable
5. Large figure of merit
6. High electro-optic coefficient and low dielectric constant
Applications:
1. Second harmonic generator of radiation 1.064 μm
2. Optical parametric oscilator in near IR region up to 4 μm
3. Different frequency generator in near IR region
4. E-O Modulators, Optical Switches, Directional Couplers
