BBO EO Crystal
BBO is the electro-optic material of choice for high average power pockels cell 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 Pockels cell -- is very fast. The wide transparency range of BBO allows it to be used in diverse applications.
