BBO Pockels Cells Description
BBO Pockels Cells have a broad transmission range from 210nm to 2000nm. Compared with DKDP and LiNbO3 crystal, BBO crystal performs better in high power handling because of its good shutoff switching properties although it has a small electro-optic coefficient. It's ideal for the application of high average power and high repetition rate Q-switching and regenerative amplifier systems. BBO crystal Pockels cell is of the transverse electric field structure and low electro-optic coefficient results in a high operating voltage. BBO Pockels Cells target operating wavelengths from the UV to roughly 2 µm. BBO crystals handle shorter wavelengths, high average powers, and high repetition rates better than other electro-optic materials.
