Abstract
The invention relates to a pockels cell comprising two spaced-apart cuboidal RTP crystals that have a square cross section, are located one behind another, and are oriented towards each other so as to provide thermal compensation in the direction of radiation. Each of said RTP crystals is provided with electrodes on two opposite faces, said faces of one crystal being rotated by 90° relative to the faces of the other crystal and relative to the direction of radiation (5). Flexible, electrically insulating, high voltage-proof plastic mats which conduct heat well and rest against the inside of a cooling member are provided around the exterior faces of the electrodes.

Pockels cell comprising an assembly of two spaced apart parallelpiped RTP crystals located one behind the other in a predetermined direction of radiation which is to be applied to the Pockels cell, the crystals being oriented in the direction of radiation to provide thermal compensation relative to each other and each being of rectangular cross-section transverse of the direction of radiation, electrodes on two opposite faces of each of the crystals, said faces of one of the crystals being rotated 90° relative to said faces of the other of the crystals about an axis parallel to the direction of radiation, and flexible, electrically insulating, high voltage-resistant plastic or rubber mats which conduct heat well superposed on exterior faces of the electrodes and a cooling body substantially surrounding said assembly comprised of the crystals, the electrodes and the mats, forming a space for receiving said assembly and having surfaces adjacent the mats.
