Wisoptic’s optical mirrors are available for use with light in the UV,
VIS, and IR spectral regions. Optical mirrors with a metallic coating
have high reflectivity over the widest spectral region, whereas mirrors
with a broadband dielectric coating have a narrower spectral range of
operation; the average reflectivity throughout the specified region is
greater than 99%.

When classified by coatings, Optical Mirrors consist of dielectric mirrors and metallic mirrors. Dielectric mirror is an optical mirror made of thin layers of dielectric coating layers deposited on an optical substrate (UVFS or BK7). WISOPTIC offer dielectric laser mirrors for laser lines, for narrowband or broadband wavelength ranges covering spectrum from UV to IR. Metallic mirrors are coated with protected gold, silver, or aluminum. Metallic mirrors are widely used due to a moderate level of reflection over a very broad spectral range.

A right angle prism is an optical prism designed to deviate light by 90° or 180°, depending on the orientation of the prism and the face through which light enters. The joining edges and faces are perpendicular to the base faces, and all joining faces are rectangular. They are often preferable to plane mirrors, because they are easier to mount and align.

Polarizing Beamsplitters (PBS) splits incident unpolarized light into two perpendicular linearly polarized light. Among them, p-polarized light passes through completely, while s-polarized light is reflected at 45 deg which makes the emitting direction of s-light vertical to p-light. Additionally, beamsplitters can be used in reverse to combine two
different beams into a single one. Beamsplitters are often classified
according to their construction:cube or plate.Cube PBS are fabricated using two typically right angle prisms.

A prism, in optics, is a piece of glass or other transparent object surrounded by two planes that intersect
but are not parallel to each other. The most important parameters of a
prism are the angle and material. Prisms are capable to redirect light at a designated angle or adjust the orientation of an image. Therefore prism is useful for in certain spectroscopes, instruments for analyzing light
and for determining the identity and structure of materials that emit or
absorb light. An optical prism’s design determines how light interacts with it.

BBO(Beta-Barium Borate, β-BaB2O4)based Pockels cells operate from approximately 0.2 - 1.65 µm and are not subject to tracking degradation. BBO exhibits low piezoelectric response, good thermal stability, and low absorption. Due to the low piezoelectric coupling coefficients of BBO, BBO Pockels cells function at repetition rates of hundreds of kilohertz.

Cr:YAG (Chromium doped Ytterium Aluminum Garnet, Cr:Y3Al5O12) crystal is an excellent material for passive Q-switching of Nd:YAG and other Nd or Yb doped lasers in the wavelength range of 0.8 to 1.2 μm. One of the remarkable features of Cr:YAG is its high damage threshold (500-1000 MW/cm2). Its absorption band extends from 800 nm to 1200 nm and peaks at around 1060nm with a very large absorption cross section.

One of the most important drawbacks of popular LiNbO3 crystal is its
susceptibility to photorefractive damage (optically induced change of
refractive index, usually under exposure with blue or green CW light).
The usual way to eliminate this effect is to keep LN crystals at
elevated temperatures (400K or more). Another way to prevent
photorefractive damage is MgO-doping (usually at levels of around 5 mol%
for congruent LN).

Basically all Pockels cell drivers are made based on
solid-state electronic technology, using high voltage transistors such
as MOSFETs.
Multiple high voltage transistors may have to be stacked, taking care to
achieve an even distribution of voltage across those.
Instead of using some heavily isolated floating gate drive circuitry for
the different transistors, one may use certain advanced ideas such as
implementing so-called avalanche switch stacks involving avalanche
diodes and/or avalanche bipolar transistors.Device lifetimes can be very long, provided that properly engineered

A Pockels cell driver is a high-voltage regulated power supply,
either pulse or continuous, allowing to control a birefringence of an
electro-optical crystal (KTP, KD*P, BBO, etc.) in order to drive the
polarization direction of the light propagating through the crystal.WISOPTIC has developed and produces a variety of Pockels cell drivers
for different applications: from very simple compact devices for
q-switching to precise and powerful fast models for pulse picking,
cavity damping, regenerative amplifier control, etc.

Barium Borate exists in three major crystalline forms: alpha, beta, and
gamma. The low-temperature beta phase converts into the alpha phase upon
heating to 925 °C. β-BBO differs from α-BBO by the
positions of the barium ions within the crystal. Both phases are
birefringent, however α-BBO has centric symmetry and thus
does not has the same nonlinear properties as β-BBO.α-BBO is a negative uniaxial crystal with a large birefringence over the broad transparent range from 189 nm to 3500 nm.
