 Dowlish Ford Ilminster TA19 0PF United Kingdom ISO 9001; AS9100C |  The G&H electro-optic Q-switch employs the highest optical quality lithium niobate available. The electro-optic effect of lithium niobate makes it extremely useful for Pockels cell Q-switching of several laser types including Nd:YAG, Nd:YALO, Nd:YLF and Er:YLF. Lithium niobate Q-switches are used in both military and commercial applications, including target designating, range finding, and ophthalmic surgery. Our crystals offer low loss, high contrast ratio, and low wavefront distortion, and are qualified for use at 300 MW/cm2. The temperature-stable (TS and XTS) versions of our electro-optic LN Q-switches allow operation over a wide range of temperatures while maintaining excellent contrast ratio.

 Hangzhou Shalom Electro-optics Technology Co., Ltd. A635, Boke Mansion No. 9 Xiyuan Road Xihu District, Hangzhou 310030 China ISO 9001:2015 |  Shalom EO offers Pockels cells made from DKDP, BBO crystals and LiNbO3 or MgO:LiNbO3 crystals. Our DKDP Pockels cells feature high damage thresholds and can be operated in a wide spectral range from 0.3 to 1.1 μm. They are often used in medical, cosmetic and industrial lasers. Aperture sizes up to 50 mm are available. Our LiNbO3 and MgO:LiNbO3 Pockels cells are excellent choices for ultraviolet (UV) lasers to infrared lasers with long operating wavelengths up to 4 μm. LiNbO3 Pockels cells are specially preferable for Er:YAG, Ho:YAG and Tm:YAG lasers. Our BBO Pockels cells have significant advantages in terms of laser power handling abilities, temperature stability, and substantial absence of the piezoelectric ringing effect. BBO Pockels cells are particularly suitable for high repetition rate lasers with frequency up to 1 MHz. Hangzhou Shalom EO also offers polished and AR-coated DKDP, BBO and LiNbO3 and MgO:LiNbO3 crystals with Cr-Au electrodes used in EO or AO Pockels cells. |
 Your problem is our challenge – flexibility is our standard!
