Spectral features of a new crystal - Cr:KTP and its potential application for self-frequency doublingThe paper describes a technique for growing Cr-doped single crystals of KTiOPO4 (Cr:KTP) and presents the spectral characteristics, lasing potential, and SHG properties of Cr:KTP. It is shown that the use of Cr:KTP as a lasing medium is potentially promising due to the combination of the wide spectral bandwidth and reasonable gain. The potential application of the crystal for self frequency doubling is discussed.
