100kHz RTP Pockels Cells / Q-Switches |
|
This is Leysop's newest Pockels cell designed specifically for high repetition rate Q-switching using RTP, selected for its complete absence of measurable piezo-electric resonances. Supplied as an OEM format cell in an industry standard package, a 100kHz driver is also available. Details |
|
Standard Pockels Cells |
|
|
This is Leysop's conventional range of longitudinal mode KD*P Pockels cells, particularly suited to general laboratory and darkroom environments. Apertures range from 8mm to 20mm and cells can be configured with either 1, 2 or 4 terminals depending on your interconnection requirements. Cells can be supplied fluid filled for low loss or dry for the highest optical power handling. Details |
 |
Compact Pockels Cells |
|
This is Leysop's more compact range of Pockels cells where a smaller size and simpler interconnect make them especially suited to OEM laser equipment manufacture. Both 8mm and 10mm aperture versions are currently available, but any aperture may be accommodated by this general style of packaging. Details |
 |
Ultra Fast Pockels Cells |
|
|
This is Leysop's special range of ultra fast response KD*P Pockels cells, designed to give the fastest possible rise-times and cleanest responses for the most demanding pulse slicing and pulse picking applications. The aperture is a very useful 6mm diameter, large enough to accommodate most beams while being small enough to retain a 150ps time response. Details |
|
Double Pockels Cells |
|
Double Pockels cells provide an excellent way of halving the drive voltage required by using two crystals to share the work. Double Pockels cells are available in conventional Pockels cell packaging as well as compact style devices and ultra-fast versions. Details |
 |
Three Electrode Pockels Cells |
|
For some special applications such as pulse picking and pulse slicing, there are advantages to using Pockels cell cells with three electrodes. These are effectively back-to-back Pockels cells which can then be driven independently to turn on and off the transmission of the optical beam with great precision and flexibility. Details |
 |
Transverse Field Pockels Cells |
|
All of the above Pockels cells use KD*P crystals in longitudinal field mode. While extremely effective devices, there are some applications where transverse field devices are superior choices, particularly where wavelengths are longer than 1100nm, and where small size or low voltage operation is required. Most transverse Pockels cells are made using either lithium niobate or lithium tantalate, both materials of excellent optical quality. The optimum choice will depend on your application, so give us a call to discuss your needs. Custom requirements are easily accommodated. Details |
