Description
The Crystrong DKDP Pockels Cell is engineered for high-power, narrow-pulse laser systems requiring rapid modulation and superior optical quality. Fabricated from DKDP (Potassium Dihydrogen Phosphate), this electro-optic Q-switch delivers an exceptional extinction ratio of over 2000:1 (measured at 632 nm) and maintains high transmittance below 98%, ensuring minimal signal loss.
Thanks to its compact electro-optic capacitance (~3–5 pF), the DKDP cell achieves a lightning-fast rise time of under 0.5 ns, enabling generation of sub-10 ns laser pulses with precision. With a high optical damage threshold exceeding 3 GW/cm² (at 1064 nm, 10 ns pulse, 10 Hz), it is well-suited to high-energy environments. The crystal exhibits minimal wavefront distortion (< λ/4), broad transmission from 200 nm to 3100 nm, and resistance to photorefractive damage—making it ideal for both demanding industrial and large-caliber military laser systems.
Engineered with anti-reflective quartz windows and robust thermal and electro-optic stability, the Crystrong DKDP Pockels Cell is a reliable, high-performance solution for ultrafast Q-switching in precision laser applications.
