摘要：
The development of Pockels cells is closely related to the choice of the crystals which are involved in this kind of device. These crystals must satisfy several requirements. In order to clearly establish the crystal ability for the realization of Pockels cells, we define several figures of merit describing its performances for electro-optic Q-Switch and we use these figures of merit to compare the efficiencies of several NLO crystals.
