RTP Electro-Optic Q-Switches utilize advanced RTP crystal technology to deliver reliable, high-speed laser pulse control across a broad wavelength range. As an isomorph of KTP, RTP offers a large electro-optic coefficient, high optical damage threshold, low insertion loss, and excellent environmental stability without deliquescence.

Designed for demanding laser applications, RTP Q-switches support high repetition frequencies up to 100 kHz while eliminating piezoelectric ringing effects. Their low operating voltage, wide temperature tolerance, and stable optical performance make them ideal for industrial, scientific, medical, and defense laser systems.
