Potassium Titanyl Phosphate and Its Isomorphs: Growth, Properties, and Applications

Femtosecond-Laser Microstructuring of Ribs on Active (Yb,Nb):RTP/RTP Planar Waveguides

“…RTP can also be doped with active ions to obtain a self-frequency doubling (SFD) material, which can be useful for compact and efficient laser sources in the visible range. KTP family of non-linear optical crystals has large electro-optical coefficients and low dielectric constants making them attractive for such electro-optical applications as modulators and Q switches [3]. These interesting properties make RTP a good candidate as a base material for integrated photonics.…”

“…For the fabrication of nonlinear optical waveguides, ion-incorporation techniques such as ion implantation [12] and ion diffusion have been applied [3]. Other techniques such as LPE [10], molecular beam epitaxy [13], chemical vapor deposition, and pulsed laser deposition [14] have also been widely used to obtain optical waveguides.…”

OPTICAL PLANAR WAVEGUIDE SENSOR BASED ON (Yb,Nb):RTP/RTP(001) SYSTEM FOR THE ESTIMATION OF METAL COATED CELLS

“…These crystals are orthorhombic, with the space group Pna 21 . These crystals are well known for their large electro-optical coefficients, high nonlinear coefficients and low dielectric constants which make them attractive for electro-optic applications such as modulators and Q-switches [1]. These electro-optic properties makes RTP compounds as attractive material for integrated optical applications for the fabrication of active and passive devices.…”

Collinear phase matching for second harmonic generation using conoscopic interferometry

“…1,2 Since the first SHG experiment, performed by Franken et al 3 in 1961, the conversion efficiency has been improved by utilizing higher power lasers, phasematching ͑PM͒ techniques and superior nonlinear crystals, such as KTiOPO 4 ͑KTP͒, 4 RbTiOPO 4 , 5 and their isomorphs from the titanyl arsenate family. 6 KTP-type crystals continue to be extremely popular for SHG as they are capable of both type-I and type-II PM over a wide range of temperatures.…”
