Pockels cells are used to change the polarization state of light with a voltage applied to the electrodes of electro-optic crystal such as DKDP (KD*P).

 

DKDP (KD*P) based Pockels cells are used for Q-switching applications from the 400 nm to about 1.1 μm. Most of commercial flashlamp pumped Nd:YAG lasers and low repetition rate DPSS Nd:YAG lasers are equipped with DKDP (KD*P) based Pockels cells for laser cavity Q-switching.

 

Features of DKDP (KD*P) Pockels cells:

  • Low absorption and high deuteration material
  • High damage threshold dielectric AR coatings for requested wavelengths
  • Operating voltage does not depend on crystal aperture, so large apertures are available
  • Suitable for fs applications due to low GVD
  • Single-crystal based three terminal design available upon request

Applications:

  • Q-switching of flashlamp pumped high energy and low repetition rate diode pumped lasers
  • Pulse picking
  • Laser cavity dumping

 

Electro-optical DKDP (KD*P) crystals used in DKDP (KD*P) Pockels cells have high laser power resistant dielectric AR coatings. Additionally, PC12SR, D-compact and D-mini series Pockels cells have AR coated windows for improved lifetime and protection in less user friendly environment.
