Pockels Cell Module (PCM)
- PCM is composed of Pockels cell, PCM driver, and Power supply units
- For applications: intracavity operation or extracavity power modulation
- Electro-optic non-linear crystal β-BBO is installed
- Operation mode (λ/2 or λ/4) is available according to user’s applications
Integrated high power components for setup of free-space lasers with the simplicity and robustness of fiber lasers. Allows GW peak powers at hundred of Watts average power.
- Pockels cell for installing one or two BBO crystals, incl. adjustable waveplate
- high power optics for 1030 nm
- completely enclosed beam, allowing controlled air-flow along beam path and inside electrodes to cool down
- mini-clean room environment: overpressure prevents dust from entering
- water cooled apertures on both sides to protect BBO crystals
- easy alignment/exchange of pre-aligned BBO crystals mounted in removable holder
- damage threshold < 10 J/cm² for 10 ns, 10 Hz
- Cross sectional of 6x6, 9x9 and 12x12 mm² available with a circular clear aperture of about 80% of the side length each
- interface for connecting additional modules, SM1 mounted optics or window
- sensors: NTC (temperature) + SHT21 (humidity)
