Applications for SHG and SFG of Nd:lasers

KTP is the most commonly used material for frequency doubling of Nd:YAG lasers and other Nd-doped lasers, particularly at the low or medium power density. To date, extra- and intra-cavity frequency doubled Nd:lasers using KTP have become a preferred source of pumping visible dye lasers and tunable Ti:Sapphire lasers as well as their amplifiers. Applied to diode-pumped Nd:laser, KTP has provided the basis for the construction of compact visible solid state laser systems.

Recent advances in intracavity-doubled Nd:YAG and Nd:YVO4 lasers, have increased the demand for compact green lasers used in optical disk and laser printer. Over 100mW and 76mW TEM00 green outputs are available from LD pumped Nd:YAG and Nd:YVO4 lasers, respectively. Moreover, 2.5mW green light has derived from 50mW LD pumped and intracavity doubled Nd:YVO4 mini-lasers with a 9mm long cavity.

KTP has also shown its powerful applications in extracavity SHG with conversion efficiency exceeding 60%. The applications of KTP for intracavity mixing of 810nm diode and 1064nm Nd:YAG laser to generate blue light and intracavity SHG of Nd:YAG or Nd:YAP lasers at 1300nm to produce red light are also in progress.

Applications for OPG, OPA and OPO

As an efficient OPO crystal pumped by a Nd:laser and its second harmonics, KTP plays an important role for parametric sources for tunable output from visible (600nm) to mid-IR (4500nm). KTP's OPO results in stable, continuous outputs of femtosecond pulse of 108 Hz repetition rate and miliwatt average power levels in both signal and idler output. KTP's OPO pumped by a 1064nm Nd:YAG laser has generated above 66% efficiency for degenerately converting to 2120nm.
