TX series
Large Aperture KD*P Cell

TX series KD*P Pockels cells are the most advanced large aperture optical isolators commercially available
and are proven performers in high power applications. Gooch & Housego is the leading producer of Pockels cells
for the development of laser induced nuclear fusion and sub-micron microlithography. Nearly 300 units are in use
worldwide...more than twice the total from all other manufacturers combined.
We have incorporated state-of-the-art features, such as specially modified cylindrical-ring electrode geometries for
optimum aperture extinction and transmission uniformity and minimum optical path length. Series TX cells also feature axially adjustable windows for sub-millimeter control of window/crystal spacing and 224 TPI differential screws
for arc-second adjustment of windows parallelism or net wedge. These units typically have a lifetime of many years
and can often be rebuilt for a fraction of the cost of a new unit. Each unit comes with detailed 2-page/4-photo test
documentation for quality assurance.
We recommend premium 50-ohm electrical receptacles on series TX cells because of their 20kVdc and 1GHz milspec ratings (used with RG-8 A/U or RG-213/U coaxial cable), but we can also install the more common HN receptacles. For customer convenience, we stock GHV bulkhead receptacles as well as cable-end plugs.
