Pockels cell driver STA-PCD-1 has been designed for cavity dumping and Q-switching of solid-state lasers equipped with electrooptical Q-switches based on BBO or DKDP crystals. The modified version STA-PCD-2 provides unipolar output and may be used with Q-switches and modulators based on RTP, KTP, LITA, LNB crystals.
The device could also be used as a generator of nanosecond electrical pulses.
