Cristal Laser
Cristal Laser
Europe's premier non linear crystals manufacturer Since 1990
Manufacturer of Flux-Grown Non-linear Optical Materials
With now a 30+ year rich history, our path has been one of steady and consistent growth. We were founded as the offspring of a research team at the University of Nancy, France and we’ve always kept a local foothold while serving customers globally, being the only European manufacturer in our specialty.
We now boast a top-notch 2,500 sq. meter facility where all critical activities – from the design of furnaces to crystal growth, optical fabrication and metrology – are integrated. Our greatest asset though remains our staff of highly committed individuals who bring passion every day into what they do, thus making our customers’ achievements happen.

RTP CrystalApart 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.
