Potassium arsenate titanate (KTA) is a nonlinear optical crystal used in optical parametric oscillation (OPO) applications. It has good nonlinear optical and electro-optic coefficients, significantly reduced absorption in the 2.0–5.0 µm region, wide angle and temperature bandwidth, and low dielectric constant.
