This paper studies the terahertz optical properties of nonlinear potassium titanyl phosphate crystals with different conductivities in the spectral range of 0.2 to 2.6 THz. The observed properties are characterized by several absorption lines lying along different optical axes which represent the relevant potassium sublattice phonon modes. The peculiarities of these absorption lines are attributed to the structural order of potassium ions.
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.
