Where to Buy Pockels Cell Drivers

Range of drivers for Pockels cells are fast HV switches designed to load and unload capacitance of Pockels cell with several nanosecond edges.

AMI’s line of Pockels cell drivers employs MOSFET technology which provides excellent noise immunity and a smooth output waveform. AMI’s OEM drivers offer reliable, high voltage pulsing in compact surface mount modules. These drivers include an internal high voltage power supply and provide a monitor to observe the high voltage output amplitude prior to the pulse. AMI’s Pockels cell drivers meet the stringent reliability requirements for medical and industrial applications.

Using a variety of techniques for generating high-voltage pulses with nanosecond and subnanosecond rise/fall times, ALPHALAS provides advanced Pockels cell drivers, pulse pickers, nanosecond and subnanosecond high-voltage generators. The applications include but are not limited to: active Q-switching, cavity dumping, amplitude and phase modulation, pulse slicing, time-of-flight measurements and others. The HVS series high-voltage switches can operate at up-to 10 kV and at frequencies up to the 100-kHz range. Customer-specific devices for higher voltages or special applications can also be provided. Single-switch and push-pull configurations are available as standard devices or customized designs. Complete setups of high-voltage switches with Pockels cells and high-voltage power supplies can be delivered either from stock or with short lead times.

EKSMA Optics has Pockels cell drivers designed for a wide range of applications and operating modes: pulse selection, Q-switching, cavity dumping, CW beam chopping and burst modes. The drivers are available for various output voltages, repetition rates and rise/fall times of the high voltage pulses.
