BBO-based pockels cell are used to change the polarization state of
light passing through it when an voltage is applied to the
electrodes of BBO electro-optic crystals. Typical applications
include Q-switching of the laser cavity, laser cavity dumping and
coupling light into and form
regenerations amplifiers. Low piezoelectric ringing makes BBO
Pockels cell attractive for the control of high-power and high
repetition rate lasers. Fast switching electronic drivers properly
matched to the cell are available for Q-switching, cavity dumping
and other applications. BBO Pockels cells are transverse field
devices. The quarter-wave voltage is proportional to the ratio of
electrode spacing and crystal length, therefor, smaller aperture,
lower quarter-wave voltage, besides, double crystal design, which
has lower quarter-wave voltage, is widely used to work in half-wave
mode with fast switching times.
ADVANTAGES:
Minimal piezoelectric ringing
Low absorption
Broad transmission ranges from 200nm to 2000nm
Compact size
