Pockels cell are used to change the polarization state of light passing through it when a voltage is applied to the electrodes of electro-optic crystals such as BBO. When used in conjunction with polarizer, Pockels cells can be used as fast optical switches. Typical applications include Q-switching of the laser cavity, laser cavity dumping and coupling light into and from regenerative amplifiers.
