KTA Crystal

KTA Crystal

 Potassium Titanyle Arsenate(KTiOAsO4), or KTA crystal, is an excellent nonlinear optical crystal for Optical Parametric Oscillation (OPO) application. It has better non-linear optical and electro-optical coefficients, significantly reduced absorption in the 2.0-5.0 µm region, broad angular and temperature bandwidth, low dielectric constants. And its low ionic conductivities result in higher damage threshold compared with KTP .

 Advantages:

• Large nonlinear optical and electro-optical coefficients 
• Wide angular bandwidth and small walk-off angle 
• Broad temperature and spectral bandwidth 
• Low dielectric constants, loss tangent and ionic conductivities (much less than that of KTP) 
• High damage threshold 
• Lower absorption and high transmission in the 3-4 µm spectrum range than KTP.
• Highly resistant to high intensity laser radiation
 

KTA's Applications 

• An excellent NLO crystal developed mainly for Optical Parametric Oscillation (OPO)
• Frequency Doubling (SHG @1083nm-3789nm) 
• Sum and Difference Frequency Generation (SFG)/(DFG)
• NCPM cut 1064--->1533+3475 (type I Theta=90deg., phi=0deg.)
