Potassium titanyl phosphate (KTP)

Potassium titanium oxyphosphate (KTiOPO4, referred to as KTP) is a nonlinear optical crystal, belonging to the Orthorhombic crystal system. Its structure is composed of potassium ion, titanium ion, oxygen ion and phosphate ion. KTP crystals have large nonlinear optical coefficients, excellent electro-optical modulation performance, and excellent second harmonic generation (SHG) performance over a wide wavelength range. It also has good chemical and mechanical stability, as well as a high refractive index. KTP crystal is widely used in optoelectronics and Photonics. It is widely used in optical frequency conversion equipment, such as Frequency multiplier and parametric oscillator, and can effectively convert long wavelength laser to short wavelength laser. In addition, due to its excellent electro-optic properties, KTP crystals are also used in electro-optic modulators to achieve the control of electrical signals over optical signals. In Quantum information processing, KTP crystal is also used to realize the quantum entanglement of photons and the transmission of Quantum information.
