Pockels Cell EOML08-1064

Longitudinal Pockels Cell (KD*P Crystal)

This LBTEK longitudinal Pockels cell uses a KD*P (deuterated potassium dihydrogen phosphate) crystal to deliver fast, high-extinction-ratio electro-optic switching for Q-switching, regenerative amplification, and cavity dumping in ultrafast laser systems. The longitudinal configuration applies the high-voltage drive field parallel to the optical beam, yielding clean polarization switching with low piezoelectric ringing.

Variants cover 532 nm (Nd:YAG SHG), 1064 nm (Nd:YAG fundamental), and 800/850/1064 nm broadband applications. The half-wave voltage (Vπ) is matched to standard high-voltage Pockels drivers (≤4 kV). AR-coated windows minimize insertion loss.

Key Features

• Longitudinal KD*P crystal configuration — clean polarization switching
• High static extinction ratio (≥1000:1)
• High dynamic extinction ratio under fast switching
• Low half-wave voltage — drivable by standard 4 kV HV drivers
• AR-coated windows for the operating wavelength
• Polyoxymethylene (POM) housing — chemically and mechanically stable
• Standard SHV high-voltage connector

Typical Applications

• Q-switching of solid-state lasers (Nd:YAG, Nd:YVO₄, Nd:YLF)
• Regenerative amplification in ultrafast Ti:sapphire systems
• Cavity dumping for picosecond and nanosecond pulse generation
• Pulse picking from high-repetition-rate oscillator trains
• Polarization gating in pump-probe spectroscopy
• Fast optical shutters and modulators

Product Family

The EOML series longitudinal Pockels cells cover 532 nm, 800 nm, 1064 nm, and broadband variants. Each cell is impedance-matched to LBTEK PBD-5K-1K series high-voltage drivers for plug-and-play operation. Custom wavelength and aperture configurations available on request.
