Overview of KDP Pockels Cells
KDP Pockels Cells are integral components for Q-switching applications, operating effectively across a spectrum from ultraviolet (UV) wavelengths up to approximately 1.1 µm. Beyond the 1.1 µm threshold, the utilization of KDP in active cavities faces limitations due to absorption, unless the specific application can accommodate a minor percentage of absorption.
The potassium dihydrogen phosphate (KDP) crystal is renowned for its minimal optical loss, superior extinction ratio, and robust electro-optical performance. Typically, KDP crystals with a deuterium concentration exceeding 98% are employed to achieve electro-optical Q-switching through their longitudinal effect. This makes them ideal for pulsed solid-state lasers, especially in applications requiring low repetition rates, such as laser beauty treatments and medical laser procedures under specific frequency conditions.
Applications of KDP Pockels Cells
- Dye Lasers: Suitable for 800nm double and triple frequency dye laser systems.
- Electro-Optical Modulation: Facilitates precise control in electro-optical modulation processes.
- Q-Switching: Enables effective electro-optical Q-switching for pulsed laser operations.
- High-Speed Photography: Ideal for high-speed camera switching applications, ensuring rapid and accurate operation.
