GTR-KTP - Gray-Track Resistance KTP

CASTECH's GRT-KTP, as an excellent NLO crystal, has lower absorption and higher damage threshold than the conventional KTP, which we can conclude it possesses a higher gray track resistance.

Introduction

KTP is an excellent nonlinear crystal, but its gray tracking phenomena limits its use in high repetition rate and high power laser systems. CASTECH's GTR-KTP crystal has higher gray tracking resistance than the regular flux grown KTP crystal. Through Photo-thermal Common-path Interferometer, the occurrence of gray tracking can be measured by an increase of bulk absorption through a strong CW 532 nm green laser within several minutes.

 

1. Bulk absorption measurements before gray tracking testing:

 

 

It appears that the absorption of CASTECH's GTR-KTP at 1064 nm is only 1/10 of conventional KTP.

 

2. Gray Tracking Testing:

When a green laser beam (400 mW, beam diameter 0.07 mm, power density 10 KW/cm2) goes through the crystal, it causes an increase in the IR absorption of the crystal. This phenomenon is correlated with “gray tracking effect”. The following graphs show the absorption level changes over time at 1064 nm for CASTECH's GTR-KTP and the conventional KTP separately.

 

 

3. Bulk absorption measurements at 1064 nm after gray tracking testing

 

 

4. Bulk absorption measurements at 532 nm after gray tracking testing

 

 

5. Damage threshold testing:

After testing a group of GTR-KTP and the conventional KTP crystals (polished only) with laser condition of 10 ns, 1 Hz, we found that CASTECH's GTR-KTP has laser damage threshold around 1.8 GW/cm2 at 1064 nm, which is much higher than the conventional KTP (450 MW/cm2 in the same condition).

 

6. Transmission curves in visible and UV region:

 

 

Apparently CASTECH's GTR-KTP has lower absorption than the conventional KTP in the range of 350-550 nm. We can conclude that CASTECH's GTR-KTP is expected to have a higher gray tracking resistance than the regular flux grown KTP crystals.
