INRAD LiNbO3 Pockels cells use a configuration in which the electric field is applied transverse to the direction of light propagation. This configuration allows lower voltages to be used for a given retardance through the use of thinner and longer crystals. Hard, damage resistant, anti-reflective coatings are deposited directly on the polished crystal faces in order to reduce reflective losses. For work at repetition rates above 100 Hz, a piezoelectrically damped version can be used.
PLC01
This capacitive Pockels cell uses standard 9mm xm 9mm x 25 mm crystals that have found widespread use in military and medical laser systems. Standard AR coatings at 1064 nm, 1320 nm, or 2100 nm make this a versatile unit. Transmission of the 1064 nm coated Pockels cell is typically 99%.
PLC01/D
This Pockels cell can be driven at higher repetition rates than the PLC01 due to a unique mounting design that reduces piezoelectric ringing.
