Pockels|ˈpɒkəlz| Also erron. Pockel. The name of F. C. A. Pockels (1865–1913), German physicist, used, chiefly attrib., with reference to an effect in certain crystals similar to the Kerr effect (sense (b)) in liquids (see quot. 19752); so Pockels cell, Pockels constant, Pockels effect (cf. Kerr). Described by Pockels 1894, in Abhandl. der K. Ges. der Wissensch. zu Göttingen (Math-phys. Klasse) XXXI. 204.

Metal electrodes are applied to rectangular blocks of these crystals, and the resultant structures are referred to as Pockel cells. Ibid. xiv. 60 In the Pockels effect the differential phase shift is linearly related to applied voltage; in the Kerr effect it is related to the voltage squared. 1976Nature 22 Apr. 677/1 The emission intensities of the components parallel and perpendicular to the incident laser polarisation were determined using a Pockels cell to rotate the laser polarisation with respect to a fixed analyser. |
