BBO Pockels Cells

High Damage Threshold: Suitable for high power laser applications.

Low Insertion Loss: Ensures efficient light transmission.

High Extinction Ratio: Provides excellent modulation depth.

Minimal Piezoelectric Ringing: Reduces signal distortion at high repetition rates.

Temperature Endurance: Maintains performance across a wide temperature range.

Applications: High Repetition Rate Q-Switching, Pulse Picking, Laser Cavity Dumping, Regenerative Amplifier Control, Beam Chopper, etc.

Beta Barium Borate (BBO) Pockels cells offer superior performance in terms of laser power handling, temperature endurance, and freedom from piezoelectric ringing. These cells are ideal for high repetition rate applications, pulse picking up to 3 MHz, laser cavity dumping, regenerative amplifier control, and beam chopping. BBO Pockels cells outperform KDP Pockels cells in high repetition rate and high power applications due to their low piezoelectric coupling coefficients.
