EOPC offers six Pockels cells, using high quality strain-free crystals of E-O material.

1) Series PC-QS Transverse Electrode (TE) BBO crystal Pockels cells (200nm to 1064nm) are ideal for high speed and high average power switching. Series PC-QS BBO crystal Pockels cells have a low insertion loss, resonance free operation, and withstand average powers in excess of 20 KW/cm²(CW). BBO has a high damage threshold. The crystal faces are AR coated with a proprietary Polymer coating and the BBO is placed between AR coated windows. Model QS-3 is ideal for Q-Switching of high power compact Diode-Pumped Solid State lasers at sub-nanosecond speeds.

2) Series PC-QC Ring Electrode (RE) KD*P crystal Pockels cell (300nm to 1064nm) for low loss intra-cavity switching. Series PC-QC Pockels cells utilize crystals with two levels of deuteration, 95% KD*P suitable for switching a Ruby laser (typical quarter-wave voltage 2.2 KV), and 99 % KD*P useful for a Nd:YAG laser (typical quarter-wave voltage 3.2 KV), in dry or wet versions. The crystal is coated with Polymer coating for dry operation or index-matched for low loss in a housing with AR coated windows. Two crystal devices are available in most models for lower half-wave voltage operation.

3) Series PC-LN (TE type) Lithium Niobate crystal Pockels cell for (600nm to 4500nm) Q-Switching and modulation. Series PC-LN Pockels cells are intra-cavity Q-switches with hard aperture of 6mm, 9mm (requires a DC switch-out voltage of 1.5KV @ 1064 nm) and 16mm (requires a switch-out voltage of 2 KV @ 1064 nm). They are dry type only with AR coated windows.

4) Model PC-MC is impedance matched KD*P Pockels cell for picosecond rise-time optical pulse generation. Series PC-MC Pockels cells are available in single crystal versions only.

5) Model PC-QB-8 is a Brewster KD*P Pockels cell for low loss and high optical power handling capability for an 8 mm laser beam.

6) Model PC-LAP-50 is a 50 mm large aperture KD*P Pockels cell.
