RTP Pockels Cell
Excellent extinction ratio: >30dB measured in our test chamber over -50°C/+70°C
High damage threshold of AR-coatings: >10J/cm² at 1064nm for 10ns pulses
Space- and defense qualified assembly process and hardware
Capability to perform an assembly on customer-supplied mounts
No long-term degradation under static HV (8kV/cm in 500 hours)
RTP Pockels cell has a number of benefits compared to other electro-optic materials:
Non hygroscopic
Low switching voltage
Good extinction ratio
No piezo and pyro-electric effects
Used either as RTP Q-switch or RTP pulsepicker
WISOPTIC has developed precise alignment techniques that enable us to offer our customers complete, plug-and-play RTP Pockels cell assemblies with a superior level of performance.
