KDP-Potassium dideuterium phosphate
Characterized by good UV transmission, high damage threshold, and high birefringence, Potassium Dihydrogen Phosphate (KDP) and Potassium Dideuterium Phosphate (DKDP ) are among the most widely used commercial NLO materials, although their NLO coefficients are relatively low. They are typically used to double, triple, and quadruple the Nd:YAG lasers at room temperature. They are also excellent E-O crystals with high E-O coefficients, which are widely used as electro-optical modulators, such as Q-switches, Pockels Cells, etc.
Advantage:
Are developed by water-solution method and can grow up to very big size.
Good options for low-cost and large-size finished non-linear components, e.g. for frequency-doubling (SHG), frequency-tripling (THG) and frequency- quadrupling (FHG) of Nd:YAG laser at 1064nm.
