    Area of Science:

    • Nonlinear optics
    • Optical materials science
    • Metrology

    Background:

    • Potassium Titanyl Phosphate (KTP) is a critical nonlinear optical crystal demanding precise dimensional control for applications.
    • Existing methods for assessing crystal surface parallelism and length may lack the required precision for advanced optical systems.
    • Accurate thickness measurement is vital for optimizing KTP crystal performance in laser systems.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce a novel method for precisely measuring the thickness distribution of cuboid KTP crystals.
    • To evaluate the accuracy and applicability of the proposed measurement technique.
    • To provide guidance for the fabrication and polishing of KTP crystals.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized laser feedback interferometry (LFI) to probe the thickness variations across cuboid KTP crystals.
    • Developed a system capable of measuring relative thickness distribution with nanometer-level accuracy.
    • Analyzed the impact of refractive index accuracy on absolute thickness measurements.

    Main Results:

    • Achieved an 8.8 nm accuracy for relative thickness distribution measurements of KTP crystals.
    • Demonstrated that the absolute thickness measurement accuracy is directly improvable by enhancing refractive index precision.
    • The LFI method proved effective for various light-transmissive birefringent materials.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed LFI method offers a highly accurate approach for characterizing KTP crystal thickness.
    • This technique provides valuable data for refining crystal processing and polishing techniques.
    • The LFI method has broad applicability for dimensional metrology in optical materials.
