Products Details

RAYSER’S KTP crystals feature high purity, low absorption at fundamental and second harmonic generation wavelengths. We supply superior 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 0.6mm-4.5mm tunable output
  • E-O modulators, optical switches, directional couplers
