The EM508-512 from Leysop is a Potassium Dihydrogen Phosphate (KD*P) Pockels Cell that operates at a wavelength of 0.3 μm - 1.2 μm. It has a halfwave voltage of 6.2 kV (static) & 7.5 kV (dynamic) at 1064 nm and aperture sizes of 8 mm, 10 mm, 12 mm, 15 mm & 20 mm. This dry or fluid filled pockels cell has an optical rise time of up to 1 ns and a contrast ratio above 1000:1 (at 1060 nm). It has a damage threshold of 600 MW/cm2, capacitance (unterminated) of 5 pF, and an insertion loss of 4%. This pockels cell requires a maximum voltage of 10 kV and is available in a compact package that measures Ø50 mm x 56 (L) mm. It is ideal for Q-switching and pulse-picking applications.
