Thermo- and Mechanically Stable Electro-optic Q-switches Based on the RKTP Crystal

The theoretical and experimental curves of temperature dependence of transmitting the light by electro-optic element based on the RKTP crystal are presented. The temperature dependence of contrast ratio of electro-optic Q-switches assembled by different technologies is represented. Also the results of mechanical properties of EO Q-switches tested on climatic influence are shown.
