BBO Pockels Cells Description
BBO Pockels Cells feature an extensive transmission range spanning from 210 nm to 2000 nm. In comparison to DKDP and LiNbO₃ crystals, BBO crystals excel in high-power applications due to their superior shutoff switching capabilities, despite having a lower electro-optic coefficient. This makes BBO Pockels Cells ideal for high-average-power and high-repetition-rate applications such as Q-switching and regenerative amplifier systems.
BBO crystal Pockels cells utilize a transverse electric field configuration. The inherently low electro-optic coefficient of BBO requires higher operating voltages. These cells are designed to operate effectively across wavelengths from the ultraviolet (UV) region up to approximately 2 µm. Compared to other electro-optic materials, BBO crystals are more adept at handling shorter wavelengths, higher average powers, and increased repetition rates.
BBO Pockels Cells Applications
- CO₂ Laser Q-Switching: Used for generating short, intense laser pulses.
- Infrared (IR) Pulse Picking: Employed in systems requiring precise selection of infrared pulses.
BBO Pockels Cells Packaging
Our BBO Pockels Cells are carefully packaged and handled during storage and transportation to ensure that their quality remains uncompromised, maintaining the integrity of the product in its original condition.
