In comparison to KTP, KTA crystals feature large non-linear optical and electro-optical coefficients and have significantly reduced absorption in the 2.0 - 5.0 m range. Its low dielectric constants, low loss tangent and ionic conductivities are orders of magnitude less than that of KTP.
Application:
● Optical Parametric Oscillation (OPO)
● Frequency Doubling (SHG @1083nm-3789nm)
● Sum and Difference Frequency Generation (SFG)/(DFG)
● Electro-Optical Q-switch and modulation for Optical waveguides
CRYSTIK‘s KTA is featured by:
● High damage threshold
● Broad temperature and spectral bandwidth
● Highly resistant to high intensity laser radiation.
● Wide angular bandwidth and small walk-off angle
● Large nonlinear optical and electro-optical coefficients
● Lower absorption in the 3-4 µm spectrum range than KTP.
● Low dielectric constants, loss tangent and ionic conductivities (much less than that of KTP)
CRYSTIK offers:
● AR-coating from visible to 3300nm;
● Re-polishing, re-coating service;
● Crystal length from 0.1mm to 30mm and size up to 10x10x30mm3 or 5×5×30mm3
● Fast delivery (10 working days for polished only, 15 working days for AR-coated).
