KTP Pockels cell
The KTP (KTiOPO₄) Pockels cell, also called a potassium titanyl phosphate Pockels cell, offers excellent overall performance. Its high damage threshold, high-duty-cycle operation and very low piezoelectric resonance make it suitable for femtosecond lasers, pulse picking in high-repetition-rate lasers and Q-switching in high-repetition-rate lasers. It overcomes the low optical damage threshold of LiNbO₃ Pockels cells and the relatively high half-wave voltage and deliquescence of KD*P Pockels cells. Compared with RTP crystals, KTP provides better optical homogeneity and a higher damage threshold. A particular advantage is that a KTP electro-optic switch can operate at a high duty cycle and can even sustain high voltage for extended periods.
