Characterization of RbTiOPO 4 crystal for non-linear and electro-optic applications

The aim of this work is to introduce the RTP material and point out its main fields of application for solid-state lasers, both in non-linear optics and electro-optics. The paper reviews the performance of the RTP crystals for visible and infrared frequency conversion. This review ends by covering the properties of RTP for electro-optics.
