Electro Optical Components, Inc. Datasheets for Q-switches
Q-switches are devices used in the optical resonator of a laser to prevent lasing action until a high level of inversion is achieved in the lasing medium.

| For most normal applications such as Q-switching and laser beam modulation, the standard EM500 and EM500M ranges of longitudinal Pockels cells are very adequate. Rise-times achievable with these devices can... | |
| In the field of electro-optics, there are very few occasions when something truly unique is developed. However, one such event was the advent of the new electro-optic material RTP. It... | |
| Leysop Compact Pockels Cells are especially suited to OEM laser equipment manufacture where a smaller size and simpler interconnect are needed. Both 8mm and 10mm aperture versions are currently available,... | |
| Probably the most common and attractive mode of operation of an electro-optic Q-switch is in "pulsed quarter wave" mode. In this mode a quarter wave retardation plate is inserted between... | |
| Prompted by a need for even smaller components than our model EM510C we have developed this latest model EM508UC to provide a full, 8mm aperture in a package only 19mm... | |
| Technically we should be discussing b-BBO to distinguish it from the a-BBO form which although chemically identical has a center of symmetry in its crystal structure which robs it of... | |
| The compact Pockels cell models EM508M-EM512M have for many years satisfied the needs of our customers for smaller (compared to the EM500 range) Pockels cells for OEM applications. With size... | |
| The EM500 series of KD*P longitudinal Pockels cells have been designed to give the lowest possible switching times using 50Ωline techniques and are normally used for Q-switching lasers. These cells... | |
| This useful type of Pockels cell is designed particularly for use in pulse slicing and pulse picking applications. Using just one crystal of KD*P, it is essentially two Pockels cells,... | |
| Unlike the EM500 range of Pockels cells, the transverse field Pockels cells can be made in a more flexible range of sizes and in a greater choice of materials. The... | |
| Unlike transverse mode Pockels cells where the half wave voltage is dependent upon the ratio of length to width (between electrodes), the half wave voltage for a longitudinal field cell... |
