Using the solution‐reacted materials, potassium titanyl phosphate (KTiOPO 4 , KTP) crystal was grown by the top‐seeded solution growth (TSSG) method. The solution‐reacted precursor was characterized by scanning electron microscope, and the solubility of KTP in K 8 P 6 O 19 was measured. The crystals were investigated by synchrotron radiation X‐ray topography, scattering centers measurement, weak absorption test and damage threshold test. The results showed that dispersion was better and solubility was higher than those by solid‐reacted method. Compared with the conventional crystal, KTP crystal grown from the solution‐reacted precursor had fewer defects, fewer scattering centers, lower weak absorption and higher damage threshold.
