BBO is well-known for its excellent optical quality and low strain birefringence, which results in high extinction ratios and low wavefront distortion. With high quality BBO crystals, series QSB Transverse Electrode (TE) BBO Pockels cells (200nm to 1064nm) are ideal for high speed and high Average power switching.

It has the following merits:
Extinction ratio: >2000: 1
Wavefront Distortion: Capacitance: about 2pF
Transmittance: >98.5%
Damage threshold: >850MW/cm2
Resonance free operation.
No thermal blooming
No piezoelectric ringing under 300KHz
No photo-refractive damage
Protective fused-silica AR-coated windows
Oxidized Aluminium housing as heat-sink, protecting
Q-switch from static.
No migration of the electrodes over a long time of use.
All hermetical structure
No encapsulants or no cements inside the device
