摘要
The precise alignment of the Pockels cell into the cavity of a Nd: YAG high power laser is a delicate procedure that if is not done correctly disables the Q-Switch operation laser. We report the precise alignment of a longitudinal Pockels cell based on obtaining the interference pattern known as the Maltese Cross, and the electrical coupling in generating short pulses that lead to modulation of the radiation of the cavity in the proper Q-switch operation laser.
