Abstract
A Pockels cell was investigated as an analogue shutter for laser-pulse shaping in materials processing and in material analysis. Many laser pulse shapes have been generated from the emission of a CW-YAG-laser or a pulsed free running YAG-laser, with this programmable Pockels cell. Typical rise time was 100 ns. Compensation of piezoelectric resonances of the Pockels cell crystal was possible.Keywords
