DKDP Pockels cells
0.39 μm - 1.4 μm

Pockels cells utilizing DKDP crystals are among the most popular choices on the market.
Deuterated potassium dihydrogen phosphate (DKDP) provides excellent transmission from 390 nm to 1400 nm (0.39 μm – 1.4 μm), and its high electro-optical coefficients make it ideal for Pockels cell applications.
To achieve an effective electro-optical response, highly deuterated DKDP (D>97% – 98% ) is essential. The high laser-induced damage threshold is ensured by applying specialized anti-reflective coatings on this hygroscopic crystal.
The 3photon standard DKDP Pockels cells feature a longitudinal electro-optic modulation configuration.
With no enter-exit windows, 3photon Pockels cells minimize light losses. These cells are lightweight, well-protected with durable anti-reflection coatings, and designed for easy installation.
- Features
- Applications
- Our cells are crafted fro DKPD crystals with very high laser-induced damage thresholds (LIDT).
- DKDP crystals are securely protected by tight isolation, safeguarding both the crystal from environmental exposure and protecting laser electronics and personnel.
- 3photon engineers are capable of manufacturing cells in nearly any size, enabling faster and simpler installation compared to most market options.
- We utilize direct bonding of wires to the crystal, a departure from the common market approach of placing conductive connectors outside the crystal volume.
- In place of protective windows, our coating engineers have applied anti-reflective (AR) coatings to shield the crystal and minimize light losses.
DKDP Pockels cells are commonly used in Q-switching applications within the 390-1400 nm range.
