Diffusion Bonded Crystal (DBC) is a crystalline solid used in photo optic applications. It consists of two, three or more parts of crystals with different dopants or same dopant with different doping levels. This material is commonly made by bonding one laser crystal with one or two undoped crystals by precise optical contact and further processing under high temperature.

KTP Pockels are based on hydrothermal-grown high resistivity KTP crystals overcomes the common electrochromism damage of flux-grown KTP. Hydrothermal-grown KTP crystals have better optical homogeneity and higher damage threshold comparing to RTP crystals. This KTP crystal has large effective electro-optic coefficients and lower half-wave voltage. The Q-switch is built utilizing thermally compensated double crystal designs.

    Potassium dideuterium phosphate DKDP (KD * P) crystal has low optical loss, high extinction ratio, and excellent electro-optical performance. DKDP Pockels cells are made by using the longitudinal effect of DKDP crystals. The modulation effect is stable and the pulse width is small.

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).
