Annotation: The results of investigations of electro-optic modulators based on high-resistance crystals KTiOPO4 (KTP) are represented. The measured half-wave voltage of the modulator for laser radiation with a wavelength λ = 1064 nm was 600 V, for laser radiation with a wavelength λ = 633 nm – 340 V.

Keywords: electrooptic modulators, ktp crystals, high-resistance ktp, half-wave voltage, q-switching
