PCD-N-2 OEM Pockels Cell Driver

PCD-N-2 OEM Pockels Cell Driver PCD-N-2 is designed for Q-switching of nanosecond lasers without use of phase retardation plate. High voltage is applied to Pockels cell in order to inhibit oscillation. Pockels cell is opened by negative polarity pulse allowing laser to radiate.
Maximum high voltage to cell (HV) pulse amplitude (U1 + U2) 
5 kV
U1 value equal to HV powering voltage
U2 value  
equal to 0.25xU1 (optionally 0 V)
HV pulse fall time 
< 15 ns
HV pulse rise time, typical 
60 µs
HV pulse duration, typical 1200 µs
HV pulse repetition rate ≤ 200 Hz
HV pulse delay 
40 ns
External triggering pulse duration requirement 100 - 1200 µs
External triggering pulse amplitude requirement 
3 - 5 V (50 Ω)
External triggering pulse rise & fall time < 20 ns
Board dimensions 
92 x 70 x 22 mm *
Ø3.2 mm mounting holes location 84 x 62 mm
External powering requirements
DC supply 12-24 V, max 200 mA
HV supply     4 kV, 1 mA
*Keep gap at least 5 mm from any side of board to other conductive parts
