Abstract

We demonstrate periodic ferroelectric domain inversion in KTiOPO4 (KTP) crystals using the femtosecond laser poling technique. The effects of laser parameters on the morphological characteristics of these light-induced domains were systematically investigated. A periodically poled KTP crystal was fabricated through this optical approach, achieving quasi-phase matched second harmonic generation. This work provides a convenient method for engineering ferroelectric domains in KTP crystals and expands the applicability of all optical poling to a broader range of ferroelectric materials.
