KGW Crystal—Potassium Gadolinium Tungstate
Gadolinium potassium tungstate (KGd(WO₄)₂) crystal has a wide transmission range, good thermal conductivity, high damage threshold, large Raman shift coefficient and high Raman gain, etc. It is a kind of excitation Raman laser crystal with excellent performance, and it can maintain high conversion efficiency and beam quality during the Raman frequency conversion process.KGW crystal is able to withstand high pumping power, and it is suitable for pumping light of various wavelengths. KGW crystal can withstand high pump power and is suitable for a variety of wavelengths of pump laser, and is widely used in Raman lasers, laser frequency conversion, medical imaging, photodynamic therapy, environmental monitoring, spectroscopy research, material processing and other fields. KGW crystal has two large Raman modes related to pump polarization, located at 768 cm ⁻¹ and 901 cm ⁻¹, respectively. This means that when the pump light is irradiated onto the KGW crystal, there will be a frequency shift of Stokes light and anti Stokes light, corresponding to the frequencies of these two Raman modes. This characteristic enables KGW crystals to convert the frequency of pump light to a specific Raman shift frequency, thereby achieving laser frequency conversion and expansion. The relatively wide Raman linewidth means that the crystal can cover a certain range of frequencies during Raman conversion, which is beneficial for achieving broadband frequency conversion and spectral extension.

Electro-optic deflectors (EODs) are optical devices used to steer or deflect light beams by applying an electric field to a specialized optical crystal. Unlike mechanical beam steering systems that rely on moving mirrors, electro-optic deflectors enable high-speed, non-mechanical beam control with exceptional precision and responsiveness. They are widely used in laser scanning, optical communications, microscopy, laser printing, spectroscopy, and scientific research, where rapid and accurate laser beam positioning is essential.
