Q-switch Crystals and Finished Components

Description

We supply high quality Q-switch crystals such as DKDP (KD*P), KDP, BBO, LiNbO3 / MgO:LiNbO3, Cr4+:YAG and KTP, etc. and finished components with low competitive price. When an electric field is applied to an electro-optic (E-O) crystal, the refractive index of E-O crystal will change linearly to electric field. The phenomenon is called linear electro-optic effect. If a linearly polarized light passes through an E-O crystal, the phase retardation will be induced. It is clear that the phase of light will change together with electric field (E). This is called electro-optic phase modulation. If two crossed polarizers are placed at input and output ends of E-O crystal separately, the intensity or amplitude of light can also be modulated by electric field. This is called amplitude modulation. There are two kinds of E-O modulations. One is longitudinal E-O modulation if the directions of electric field and light propagation are the same. The KDP isomorphic crystals are normally used in this scheme. If the directions of electric field and light propagation are perpendicular, it is called transverse E-O modulation. The LiNbO3, MgO:LiNbO3, BBO and KTP crystals are usually employed in this scheme. We supply high quality Q-switch crystals in large quantities for these applications.
