Abstract

We have fabricated highly-orientated crystalline potassium titanyl phosphate (KTP) films on a variety of substrates by pulsed excimer laser ablation. The resulting films have been extensively characterized in terms of their compositional, crystalline, and optical properties. Nonlinear optical property of secondary harmonic generation of the films has been evaluated with a high d value comparable to that of KTP bulk crystals. The results are encouraging that the KTP films deposited are very promising for nonlinear optical waveguide device applications.
