LN (LiNbO3) Pockels cell , also known as Lithium Niobate Pockels cell, is a comprehensive and relatively excellent Pockels cell device, which is widely used in the fields of optical communication and optical waveguide technology.
Product Description
Optical grade magnesium oxide-doped lithium niobate (MgO:LN) crystals and lithium niobate (LN) crystals have good electro-optical properties, large nonlinear coefficient, good optical uniformity, stable mechanical and chemical properties, no deliquescence, half-wave Low voltage, its disadvantage is low extinction ratio, low anti-damage threshold, often used in low repetition frequency (100Hz).
Lithium niobate Pockels cells have the advantages of high electro-optic coefficient, non-hygroscopicity, wide range of transparency and good mechanical and physical properties, etc., and can be used in electro-optic modulators, laser beams other than modulated resonator wave voltage and other fields. Lithium niobate crystal is one of the most commonly used materials for Q-switches and phase modulators due to its high electro-optic coefficient, non-hygroscopicity, good transmission up to 4.0 µm, and transverse-mode operation . By applying an electric field transverse to the direction of light propagation, LiNBO cells can be configured to operate at lower voltages than KD*P cells.
LiNbO 3 Pockels cells can support infrared wavelength operation up to 4.0 µm, and are also a good choice for low-to-medium power solid-state laser (Er:YAG, Ho:YAG, Tm:YAG pulsed laser) applications. Meanwhile, LiNbO3 with Mgo doping has a significantly higher damage threshold compared with undoped conventional LiNbO3 .
