Abstract

The invention relates to a lateral electro-optic Q-switching switch based on a trigonal crystal system and its method and application for reducing driving voltage, including polarizers and electro-optic crystal devices arranged in sequence along the optical path. The electro-optic crystal device is an electro-optic crystal, and the electro-optic crystal belongs to Trigonal crystal system; the angle between the polarization direction of light before passing through the electro-optic crystal and the X / Y direction of the electro-optic crystal is 45°. The driving voltage of the electro-optic Q-switching switch of the present invention is relatively low, which is 15%-60% lower than the quarter-wave driving voltage of the traditional electro-optic Q-switching switch, and satisfies the important requirement of electro-optic devices driven by low voltage. The design of the electro-optic Q-switching switch of the present invention is more concise, without using a quarter-wave plate, the cavity structure is more simplified, and the volume is smaller, which is conducive to miniaturized production, simplifies the design and volume of the laser, and has the advantages of easy industrialization. .
