MgO:LiNbO3 crystals have become one of the most broadly used materials for Q-switches and phase modulators for their high EO coefficients, MgO:LiNbO3 has a higher damaging threshold than the non-doping LiNbO3 crystals. With an electric field applied transverse to the direction of light propagation, Pockels cells based on LiNbO3 can be configured to operate at a lower voltage than Pockels cells based on KD*P. LiNbO3 can also be a good choice for infrared wavelengths up to 3.0µm.
Shanghai North Optics offers high-quality polished, AR coating and Au-Cr electroded MgO:LiNbO3 crystals used in pockels cells, the MgO doping of 0.6%,1.0%, and 5% is available. A series of lithium-niobate products including SAW LiNbO3 Wafers, Nonlinear LiNbO3 and MgO:LiNbO3, LiNbO3 Crystals for EO Modulations, Optical Grade LiNbO3 Wafers, and MgO:PPLN Crystals, LiNbO3 Pockels Cells are also procurable.
