    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pockels_effect

    For an example, the halfwave voltage is approximately 7.6 kV for a KDP crystal with a n o = 1.51, r 63 = 10.6X10-12 m/V at λ 0, and Δφ = π. [4] The advantage of using longitudinal Pockels cells is that the voltage requirements for quarter wave or half wave retardance is not dependent on crystal length or diameter.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrostatic_generator

    Electrostatic machines are typically used in science classrooms to safely demonstrate electrical forces and high voltage phenomena. The elevated potential differences achieved have been also used for a variety of practical applications, such as operating X-ray tubes, particle accelerators, spectroscopy, medical applications, sterilization of food, and nuclear physics experiments.
