Potassium Titanyl Phosphate – KTP Crystals SKU: HGTR-0612-05

KTP (Potassium titanyl phosphate) is a nonlinear crystal mostly used in extracavity configuration when a single pass through the crystal is required. KTP crystals are optimized for SHG intracavity configuration in low peak power CW lasers. Due to the large number of passes…
