KDP & KD*P
 
KDP and KD*P are nonlinear optical materials, characterized by high damage threshold, good nonlinear optical coefficients and electro-optic coefficients. It can used for doubling, tripling and quadrupling of Nd:YAG laser at room temperature, and electro-optical modulators.
 
Typical Applications
 
  • High optical damage threshold and high birefringence
  • Good UV transmission
  • Electro-optical modulator and Q switches
  • Second, third, and fourth harmonic generation, frequency doubling of dyer laser
  • High power laser frequency conversion material
