DKDP Pockels Cells

Pockels cells based on highly deuterated DKDP (KD*P) electro-optic crystals for Q-switching from 400 nm to about 1.1 μm, used in flashlamp pumped and low repetition rate diode pumped Nd:YAG lasers, and for pulse picking and cavity dumping. Operating voltage does not depend on aperture, so large apertures are available, and low GVD suits fs applications. Crystals carry high damage threshold AR coatings; PC12SR, D-compact and D-mini series add AR coated protective windows.
