KDP and DKDP
crystal
Potassium
Dihydrogen Phosphate (KDP) and Potassium Dideuterium Phosphate (DKDP) are used
for electro-optical modulation and frequency conversion. They have High
nonlinearcoefficient and high optical damage threshold, and can be used as
electro-optical modulator, Q switches and shutters for high speed photography.
