Buying Pockels Cells

Pockels cells

Top-level product category: optical modulators

More general product categories: electro-optic modulators, optical modulators, drive electronics for photonic components

Pockels cells are used in various applications like active Q-switching, mode locking of lasers, cavity dumping, regenerative amplification, pulse picking, and laser beam modulation. Different models are optimized for specific applications.

Making Good Purchase Decisions

RP Photonics helps you to not only to find all relevant suppliers, but also to make good purchasing decisions.

NEW: Structured Decision Process

We recommend that you apply best practice by using the following structured process: Go through the following expandable sections, complete the form and finally come to a purchase decision. You can then print that to a PDF for documenting the process.

(Various further improvements of this feature will come soon.)

1. Learn about the technology

It is important to sufficiently understand the technology before buying.

With its comprehensive resources, RP Photonics helps you to well prepare purchase decisions:

2. Define your requirements

It is important to fully understand and define your requirements before you buy.

We recommend that for your preparation and for inquiries to suppliers, you draw up a list of clear specifications according to your specific needs:

To help you, we have already listed some aspects we recommend you consider when buying Pockels cells. Of course, there may be other aspects that are relevant to your specific case.

Otherwise, you will need to talk to your technical colleagues.

If you check this, the criteria will be inserted into the inquiry mail if below you use a button titled "Get quotation".

If you cannot sufficiently clarify your requirements, you may want to get technical consultancy from RP Photonics.

3. Find suppliers

We suggest three steps:

  • Below, you can find our list of suppliers for Pockels cells. Use the checkboxes to mark possibly suitable suppliers.
  • The selected suppliers will appear below this list, along with your list of specifications. You can then indicate which specifications they meet according to your research.
  • Based on the results, you can finally choose a supplier that is hopefully a good enough fit.

Pockels cells

Hangzhou Shalom EO offers standard and custom Pockes cells made of DKDP, BBO crystals and LiNbO3 or MgO:LiNbO3 crystals.

Shalom EO’s DKDP Pockels cells feature high deuteration (>98%), low capacitance and fast rise time, and high transmission, high extinction ratio, with a maximum aperture of 50 mm.

Shalom EO’s 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 high damage threshold, low insertion loss, high extinction ratio, minimal piezoelectric ringing, and competitive price. BBO Pockels cells with both single and double BBO crystal designs and low-voltage geometries are available upon request.

Hangzhou Shalom EO also offers polished and AR-coated DKDP, BBO and LiNbO3 and MgO:LiNbO3 crystals with Cr-Au electrodes which can be used as central components of Pockels cells.
