KD*P KD2PO4

Properties

  • Phase Match Type II
  • Non-Linear Coefficient .37 10-12 m/V
  • Refractive Index 1.49
  • Damage Threshold .5 GW/cm^2
  • Absorption .005 cm^-1
  • Phase Matching Angle 53.7 Deg.
  • Walk Off Angle 1.45 deg

Tolerance Parameters

  • Angular 2.2 mr-cm
  • Thermal 6.7 deg C-cm
  • Spectral .66 nm-cm

Notes KD*P is very fragile and is quite hygroscopic. It is supplied in an index matched fluid filled cell to protect the crystal. It is available in very large sizes and is less expensive than KTP.
