KTP is a positive biaxial crystal, with the principal axes X, Y, and Z (nz>ny>nx) parallel to the crystallographic axes a, b, and c, respectively.
High damage threshold
Without gary-track in high power cw intracavity application
Lower absorption in 532nm
Higher resistivity

The Sellmeier equations ( l in μm ):
nx2=3.0065+0.03901/(l2-0.04251)-0.01327l2
ny2=3.0333+0.04154/(l2-0.04547)-0.01408l2
nz2=3.0065+0.05694/(l2-0.05658)-0.01682l2
KTP's Applications:
Frequency doubling (SHG) of Nd-doped lasers for green/red outputs.
Frequency mixing (SFM) of Nd laser and diode laser for blue outputs.
Parametric sources (OPG, OPA and OPO) for 600nm-4500nm tunable outputs.
E-O modulators, optical switches, directional couplers.
Optical waveguides for integrated NLO and E-O devices.
