Supplier
Crylink
Category
Electro-Optics
Origin
China

The DKDP (potassium dideuterium phosphate, KD₂PO₄) Pockels cell, also called a KD*P Pockels cell, is an electro-optic modulator with excellent overall performance. It offers low optical loss, a high extinction ratio, good electro-optic performance and environmental resistance. Applications include electro-optic Q-switching, high-speed camera switching, military and aerospace laser systems, frequency doubling and tripling of dye lasers in the 800nm band, and second-, third- and fourth-harmonic generation of 1064nm lasers. Because DKDP crystals are deliquescent and mechanically relatively weak, environmental control requires particular care. Operating temperature: 10 ℃–50 ℃, with temperature changes limited to 5 ℃ per 20 minutes. Ambient humidity: preferably below 40% over the long term, with humidity control such as a dry container or desiccant. Storage: keep the device in a drying cabinet when not in use to prevent deliquescence.
