The structure is desired to achieve quasi phase matching QPM in the material. Periodically poled crystal s are frequently used as nonlinear optical materials. They are up to 20 times more efficient at second harmonic generation than crystals of the same material without Periodic table crystal structure periodic structure. The material for the crystals is usually a wide band gap inorganic crystal, or in some cases a suitable Organic chemistry organic polymer . Some popular materials in current use are potassium titanyl phosphate KTP , lithium niobate , and lithium tantalate . The periodic structure is created in the crystal using a range of techniques.
