POCKELS CELL DESIGN QUESTIONNAIRE In order to respond with a quotation for a Pockels cell, please answer the following questions as completely as possible, marking NA (not applicable) as the answer for all questions that do not apply or are not of concern. The more information supplied, the more accurately we can address your requirement. Please email your completed form to Your name: XXX Company name: XXX Date: Month Day Year What is the application of this cell (Q-switch, regenerative amplifier, pulse picker 1 or other)? What is the beam diameter (1/e2 value)? 2 What is the beam profile (Gaussian, pseudo-Gaussian, top-hat, etc.)? 3 What is the M2 of the beam? 4 What is the wavelength of operation? 5 What is the laser repetition rate? 6 What is the laser peak power (extra-cavity)? 7 What is the energy-per-pulse (extra-cavity)? 8 If using a laser cavity or regenerative amplifier, what is the estimated intracavity 9 power, or what is the finesse or output coupler reflectivity? What is the laser pulse width (FWHM)? 10 Will you use the cell in quarter-wave or half-wave operation? 11 What are the desired contrast ratio and the minimum acceptable contrast ratio? 12 What is the cell repetition rate and voltage pulse duration that you intend to use? 13 What is your duty cycle? 14 What is the operating environment at the cell (temp, atmosphere, humidity)? 15 Some cells use wedged windows oriented for either a net wedge, or no net 16 wedge but result in an offset of the beam. In such a case, do you have a preference? Do you intend to use a bias or constant on voltage, switching to ground? 17 (this is not typically recommended and may cause short cell life) What quantity do you require? 18
