GTR-KTP Crystal
Gray Track Resistant (GTR) KTP crystals developed by hydrothermal method overcomes the common phenomenon of electrochromism of the flux-grown KTP, thus has many advantages such as high electrical resistivity, low insertion loss, low half-wave voltage, high laser damage threshold, and wide transmission band. So it's very suitable for high power density applications, where regular flux-grown KTP crystals will suffer from gray track damage.
GTR-KTP crystal has gray track resistance sufficiently greater than typical flux-grown KTP. It has wide angular bandwidth and small walk-off angle and broad temperature and spectral bandwidth. GTR-KTP crystals can be widely used in medical, military and meteorology fields.
GTR-KTP Applications
• SHG of Nd-doped laser
• Frequency mixing (SFM) of Nd and diode lasers to produce blue outputs
• Parametric sources (OPG, OPA and OPO) for 600 - 4500nm tuneable outputs
• EO modulators, optical switches and directional couplers
• Optical waveguides for integrated NLO and EO devices
• SHG and THG using high power Nd:YAG (1342 and 1319nm)
