Abstract :
KTiOPO4 (KTP) crystals doped with Nb (Nb:KTP) can not only largely blue-shift the cut-off wavelength for the type II second harmonic generation (SHG) phase matching of KTP crystals, but can also change the optimum phase matching angle of Nd:YAG 1.0642 μm laser which has a noncritical phase matching direction
