Rubidium Titanyl Phosphate (RTP) FAQs

Q1 What are the key applications of RTP crystals?

RTP crystals are commonly used in:

  • Electro-optic Q-switches for solid-state lasers
  • Frequency doubling and mixing (SHG and THG)
  • Optical parametric oscillators (OPOs)
  • Pulse-picking and modulation applications
  • High-power laser systems requiring high damage resistance

Q2 How do RTP crystals compare to KTP crystals?

RTP and KTP crystals share similarities but differ in key aspects:

  • RTP:
    • Non-hygroscopic and suitable for high-power applications.
    • Higher damage threshold than KTP.
    • Better suited for applications in humid environments.
  • KTP:
    • Higher nonlinear coefficient, ideal for frequency doubling at lower power levels.
    • More sensitive to humidity, requiring careful handling.

Q3 How are RTP crystals used in Q-switching?

RTP crystals are widely used in Q-switches due to their low power consumption and high damage resistance. They act as electro-optic modulators, enabling precise control of laser pulses in solid-state laser systems.
