Nonlinear single crystals KDP, DKDP, ADP (diphosphates)
Nonlinear single crystals KDP (KH2PO4), DKDP (KD2PO4) and ADP (NH4H2PO4) are
widely used as the second, third and fourth harmonic generators for Nd:YAG and
Nd:YLF lasers. Crystals are also widely used for electro-optical applications
as Q-switches for Nd:YAG, Nd:YLF, Ti:Sapphire and Alexandrite lasers, as well
as for Pockels cells. The most commonly used electro-optical crystal is DKDP
with a deuteration more than 98%.
These crystals are grown by a water-solution method and can be grown up to very
large sizes. Therefore, they are as low-cost and large-size finished non-linear
components available.
For frequency-doubling (SHG) and -tripling (THG) of Nd:YAG laser at 1064 nm,
both type I and type II phase-matchings can be employed for Nonlinear single
crystals KDP and DKDP. For frequency - quadrupling (4HG, output at 266 nm) of
Nd:YAG laser KDP crystal is normally recommended.
Nonlinear single crystals KDP, DKDP, ADP (diphosphates) are applicable
in areas of research, development, education & production: photonics, optic,
laser technology, dosimetry, telecommunications, electronic.
