KTP crystals is the most commonly used material for frequency doubling of Nd-doped lasers.
It is widely used for frequency mixing to generate Red/Green/Blue output, and for OPO and OPA to generate visible to mid-infrared tunable output. It is also used for many E-O devices such as Q-switches and E-O modulators.
KTP is widely used in both commercial and military lasers including laboratory and medical systems, range-finders, lidar, optical communication and industrial systems.
Advantages
Large nonlinear optical coefficient
