    KD*P or DKDP crystals are widely used in Q-switching applications at wavelength range from 0.25µm to approximately 1.1 µm, If the deuterium content is higher the absorption edge of the material is shifted further into the infrared. KD*P crystal with a deuterium content >98% can be used up to 1.3μm. KD*P can be grown with high optical uniformity and is therefore recommended for requirements of large apertures. 

    Shanghai North Optics offers the DKDP crystals of high deuteration (>98%) for KD*P pockels cells applications, the customized blanks, polished crystals, and the AR coating and Cr-Au electrode crystal components are available upon your request.
