KDP Potassium Dihydrogen Phosphate and KD*P or DKDP Potassium
Dideuterium Phosphate are among the most widely-used commercial NLO materials,
characterized by good UV transmission, high damage threshold, and high
birefringence, though their NLO coefficients are relatively low. They are
usually used for doubling, tripling and quadrupling of a Nd:YAG laser under the
room temperature. In addition, they are also excellent electro-optic crystals
with high electro-optic coefficients, widely used as electro-optical
modulators, such as Q-switches, Pockels Cells, etc.

Descriptions:
KDP Potassium Dihydrogen Phosphate and KD*P or DKDP Potassium Dideuterium Phosphate are one of the oldest used nonlinear materials. DKDP and KDP are known as analogs, though their properties differ due to DKDP deuteration. They both exhibit excellent ultraviolet transmission and high damage threshold. The nonlinearity of these crystals is relatively low, these crystals can be grown in large size. They found their application as nonlinear frequency doublers, triplers, and quandruplers of Nd-doped lasers and as Q-switch devices for Ti:Sapphire, Alexandrite, Nd-doped lasers. The main drawback is that these crystals are highly hygroscopic, therefore sealed housing and dry operating conditions have to be ensured.
Main applications:
1） Laser frequency conversion — harmonic generation for high pulse energy;
2） Electro-optical modulation;
3） Q-switching crystal for Pockels cells;
Advantages:
1) Good UV transmission;
2) High birefringence
3) High optical damage threshold;
4) High nonlinear coefficients;
5) Non-hygroscopic, chemically and mechanically stable
6) Wide working temperature range
7) Low capacitance

HGO grows BBO Nonlinear crystals using flux technology. BBO crystal transparency ranges from 188 nm to 5,2 µm, which includes reasonable transparency from 3-5,2 µm for few tens µm thick crystals, while their phase-matchable range spans almost over the entire transparency range. Combined with other magnificent properties of BBO, it is favorable for numerous nonlinear parametric applications. It is worth to mention that BBO crystals have the highest nonlinearity in the UV range out of all common nonlinear crystals.

Nd:YVO4 (Neodymium Doped Yttrium Orthovanadate) crystals is one of the most promising commercially available diode pumped solid state laser materials, especially, for low to middle power density. This is mainly for its higher absorption and emission features than Nd:YAG crystal. Pumped by laser diodes, Nd:YVO4 crystal has been incorporated with high NLO coefficient crystals ( LBO, BBO, or KTP) to frequency-shift the output from the near infrared to green, blue, or even UV. This incorporation to construct all solid state lasers is an ideal laser tool that can cover the most widespread applications of lasers, including machining, material processing, spectroscopy, wafer inspection, light displays, medical diagnostics, laser printing, and data storage, etc. It has been shown that Nd:YVO4 based diode pumped solid state lasers are rapidly occupying the markets traditionally dominated by water-cooled ion lasers and lamp-pumped lasers, especially when compact design and single-longitudinal-mode outputs are required.

HGO grows Nd:YLF laser crystals using Czochralski technology. Nd3+:YLF crystal is characterized by its long lifetime of 4F3/2 neodymium energy level. Compared to Nd:YAG, the lower thermal conductivity and a weak negative dn/dT lead to lower thermal distortions and allow to achieve a better output beam quality. Another distinctive feature is the high UV transparency, which is favorable for pumping with xenon flash lamps.
