Popis: Terahertz (THz) radiation has been of increasing interest in the last decades, for security, manufacturing, quality control, medical and security imaging applications. The field requires more efficient and affordable sources and nonlinear upconversion schemes point in this direction. KTiOPO, (KTP) is a well-established material for nonlinear optical applications in the visible and near-IR region thanks to its large transparency, high nonlinear coefficient and damage threshold. Its reasonably low absorption [1, 2] and strong polariton resonances [1] show promise for efficient IR to THz upconversion and Wu et al. [2] recently demonstrated its superiority to LiNbO3 and LiTaO3 in a back to back experiment. However, the complex refractive index needs to be measured before further power scaling is realistic.
