Abstract
Potassium hydrogen phthalate crystal is a good nonlinear optical system. Its electro-optic coefficient r131 is measured for a wavelength of 670 nm and it is found to be of the order of that of urea crystal (1.06 pm V−1). The dispersion study for the effective Pockels coefficients reff = r113−r112, is carried out for this crystal, and the electronic part of the electro-optic coefficient is shown to play an important role in the potassium hydrogen phthalate crystal. The electro-optical dispersion birefringence constant is found to be −1.11. Modulators based on KAP possess good figure of merits. The figure of merit that has been measured, corresponding to the wavelength of 670 nm is 9.5 pm V−1.
