KDP Nonlinear Crystals

KDP crystals are used for harmonic generation of high pulse energy, low repetition rate lasers, including fourth harmonic generation (532 nm to 266 nm) of Q-switched and mode-locked Nd:YAG lasers with lower UV absorption than DKDP. Thin KDP crystals serve for second harmonic generation of Ti:Sapphire radiation and single-shot autocorrelator pulse duration measurement, offering larger spectral acceptance than BBO for SHG of 800 nm. Crystals come AR coated or P-coated, with thin plates mounted in 1 inch ring holders.
