Apart from electro-optics applications, RTP crystals (Rubidium Titanyl Phosphate) also offer interesting features for frequency conversion including:
High damage threshold
No grey track
Small walk-off angle when used for generation of wavelengths in the yellow rangeHas very similar features to KTP but adds the benefit of a good optical transmission between 3µm and 3.5µm:
Transparent between 0.5µm and 3.5µm
High non-linear optical efficiency
Large temperature acceptance
Lower birefringence than KTP resulting in a smaller walk-off
It is often used as an OPO / OPA gain medium for emission in the 3µm range as well as an OPO crystal for eye-safe emission at high average power. Learn More

An excellent and yet affordable non-linear crystal offers a range of unique features:
High non-linearity
Small walk-off angle in the XY plane with NCPM OPO for a 1.57µm signal.
Large temperature acceptance. Learn More
