Abstract
We demonstrate a low-voltage and fast laser -switching by using an electro-optic periodically poled lithium niobate (EO PPLN) crystal. The half-wave voltage measured from the EO PPLN crystal was , where is the electrode separation and is the electrode length. When a 13-mm-long EO PPLN was used as a laser switch at 7-kHz switching rate, we measured an pulse width and laser pulses at 1064-nm wavelength from a diode-pumped laser with continuous 1.2-W pump power at 809-nm wavelength.
