Pockels Cell Driver

What is a Pockels Cell Driver?

Pockels cells are used as switchable waveplates (or high speed electro-optic shutter) that rely on high voltages to alter the polarization of laser beams. The required voltage typically ranges from 1-10 kV and depends on factors such as Pockels cell type, light wavelength, and crystal size.
