Potassium titanyl phosphate (KTiOPO4 KTP) crystal KD*P9217

electro-opticlaser

KTP has promising E-O and dielectric properties comparable to those of LiNbO3, which makes it extremely useful to various E-O devices. When these properties are combined with high damage threshold, low optical loss at high average power, wide optical bandwidth, thermal and mechanical stability, KTP crystals are expected to replace LiNbO3 crystals as E-O modulators, especially for mode-locking diode laser pumped Nd:YAG and Nd:YLF lasers as well as Ti:Sapphire and Cr:LiSrAlF6 lasers. KTP crystal was successfully used to mode lock a diode laser pumped Nd:YLF laser at 270MHz with pulse width of 15 ps and spectral band width of 73 GHz.
