KTP

Potassium Titanyl Phosphate-KTP

Potassium Titanyl Phosphate (KTiOPO4 or KTP) was firstly reported in 1971. With the progress and improvement of KTP crystal growth technology, it is currently widely used in laser systems for industrial, military, laboratory, lidar and optical communication application.

Description

KTP Features:

1.Large nonlinear optical coefficient

2.Large receiving angle and small departure angle

3.Wide temperature and spectral bandwidth

4.High photoelectric coefficient and low dielectric constant

5.High quality factor

6.Non deliquescent, stable in chemical and mechanical properties
