Pure LiNbO3 (LN) is a good candidate for various optical devices, but
has a major disadvantage due to its low threshold optical damage. MgO:LN (congruent
compositions) is one of the possible solutions to deal with this
problem. MgO doping has played an important role in LN and shown an
increased threshold laser beam strength by 100 times. An interesting
point is that every physical property of MgO:LN (e.g.

The periodic polarized KTP (PPKTP) is a novel nonlinear optical material that can be customized to achieve all of the nonlinear applications required in the entire KTP crystal transmission band, without the phase matching limitations of conventional KTP. Moreover, the effective nonlinear coefficient of PPKTP is about 3 times higher than that of conventional KTP. In the nonlinear application of conventional KTP, the crystal must have a single domain structure, but PPKTP crystal has an artificially induced periodic domain structure.
