DKDP or KD*P crystals have high electro-optic coefficients, which makes well-suited for pockels cells Q-switches applications. DKDP crystals also have good transmission at UV to 1.1µm, makes the DKDP pockels cells suitable for applications with wavelengths from the UV to approximately 1.1 µm . Hangzhou Shalom EO offers the DKDP pockels cells with output aperture from 6mm-12mm, some types of stocked pockels cells are available in fast delivery and low cost.

LiNbO3 crystals and MgO:LiNbO3 crystals have become the most commonly used material for Q-switches and phase modulators for its high EO coefficients. With an electric field applied transverse to the direction of light propagation, LiNBO3 cells can be configured to operate at a lower voltage than comparable KD*P cells. LiNbO3 can also be a good choice for infrared wavelengths as long as 3.0 µm. Hangzhou Shalom EO offers the pockels cells made from LiNbO3 crystals and MgO:LiNbO3 crystals, with aperture size of 2.5mm to 9mm.

BBO is one of the electro-optic material choices for high average power E-O Q Switch applications. BBO has significant advantages over other materials in terms of laser power handling abilities, temperature stability, and substantial freedom from piezoelectric ringing. Because it relies on the electro optic effect, switching time - aided by the low capacitance of the E-O Q Switch is very fast. The wide transparency range of BBO allows it to be used in diverse applications.
