What materials are used in OPA for Nanotechnology?
The choice of nonlinear materials is crucial for effective OPA. Common materials include beta barium borate (BBO), potassium titanyl phosphate (KTP), and periodically poled lithium niobate (PPLN). These materials have high nonlinear coefficients and are suitable for generating and amplifying light in a broad range of wavelengths, making them ideal for nanotechnological applications.
