Abstract
Large-aperture plasma Pockels cell is one of important components for inertial confinement fusion laser facility. We demonstrate a single-pulse driven PPC with 350mm×350mm aperture. It is different to the PPC of NIF and LMJ for its simple operation to perform Pockels effect. With optimized operation parameters, the PPC meets the optical switching requirement of SGII update laser facility. Only driven by one high voltage pulser, the simplified PPC system would be provided with less associated diagnostics, less the maintenance, and higher reliability.
