Large high-quality KTP crystals are grown from a high-temperature solution (the flux method). The laser damage threshold for these crystals is measured to be 3-3.5 GW/cm(2) for 1.064-microm light and 2.5-3 GW/cm(2) for 0.532-microm light. The damage thresholds and second-harmonic-generation conversion efficiency are comparable with and higher than those for hydrothermally grown KTP, respectively.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
