The piezoelectric ringing phenomenon for the Pockels cell with DKDP crystal is analyzed. The dependencies of contrast ratio of Pockels cell with the DKDP crystal on high-voltage pulse duration in the range from 100 ns up to 5 μs and on the pulse frequency in range from 50 Hz to 250 kHz are obtained and analyzed. Measurements that map the piezoelectric ringing amplitude distribution in the aperture of the DKDP crystal of the Pockels cell are performed as well. |
