Pockels cell driver

A driver provides continuous high-voltage pulses for applications, including controlled Q-switching of solid-state lasers. The Model 8251 Solid-State Pockels Cell Driver incorporates a miniature internal power supply to generate output voltages as large as 6 kV from the 15-Vdc power input. Output risetimes and falltimes are 15 ns or less.

A diagram shows NIST’s ion trap used for reversible “quantum squeezing” to amplify and measure ion motion. The ion (white ball) is confined 30 microns above the trap surface by voltages applied to the eight gold electrodes and the two red electrodes. Squeezing--that reduces the uncertainty of motion measurements--is achieved by applying a specific signal to the red electrodes. The ion is moved by applying another type of signal to one of the gold electrodes. Then the squeezing is reversed, and the blue electrodes generate magnetic fields used to decode the amplified motion measurements.
