LiNbO3 Pockels Cells address wavelengths of at least 1064nm. With an electric field applied transverse to the direction of light propagation, LiNbO3 cells can be configured to operate at a lower voltage than comparable KD*P cells. LiNbO3 can also be a good choice for infrared wavelengths as long as 4.0 µm, though half-wave voltage increases at those wavelengths.
