Laser Crystals

Potassium Dihydrogen Phosphate (KDP) and Potassium Dideuterium Phosphate (DKDP) are among the most widely-used commercial NLO materials. They have good UV transmission, high damage threshold, and high birefringence, with low NLO coefficients. They are usually used for doubling, tripling or quadrupling of a Nd:YAG laser (constant temperature). With excellent optical homogeneity and high E-O coefficients, KDP and DKDP crystals are also widely used in E-O modulators and Q-switches.
 
BeamQ provides high quality KDP and DKDP crystals in diverse sizes for the above applications, as well as customized services for crystal select, design and processing.

United Crystals:  DKDP Pockels Cell, CA 10mm, with AR-coating at 1064nm on both DKDP and BK-7 windows, housing outer diameter 25mm

Crystals are used for electro-optical applications as Q-switches for Nd:YAG, Nd:YLF, Ti:Sapphire and Alexandrite lasers, and for Pockels cells. The most commonly used is DKDP with a deuteration more than 98%. The laser crystals are grown by a water-solution method . It can be grown up to very large sizes. They are low-cost and large-size finished non-linear components. For frequency-doubling and -tripling of Nd:YAG laser at 1064 nm, both type I and type II phase-matchings can be employed for Nonlinear single crystals KDP and DKDP.
