Potassium titanyle arsenate (KTiOAsO4), or KTA, is a nonlinear optical crystal for Optical Parametric Oscillation (OPO) application. It has good non-linear optical and electro-optical properties, e.g. significantly reduced absorption in band range of 2.0-5.0 µm, broad angular and temperature bandwidth, low dielectric constants.
Primary applications of KTA crystals:
