Pismo OG10B/100-1/DKDP pulse picker system - request a quote

Complete Pulse picker system with synchronization and control electronics
Pockels cell crystal: DKDP 12x12x25 mm, ARC 1000-1080 nm (clear aperture 11 - mm)
HV pulse amplitude: up to 10 kV (HV pulse has the amplitude ~5kV with duration 10 ns at level 10% of maximum)
Repetition rate: 500 Hz - 100 kHz
System transmission: >85%
Contrast ratio: >1:500
RF source rep. rate: 2…150 MHz and 1 Hz…2 MHz*
RF input: optical (internal fiber coupled photodetector with 1.5-m long plastic fiber) or electric

* - proper operation with input train rep. rate 1 Hz…2 MHz is only available with triggering by external electric signal. The external trigger signal must lead the optical pulse by 0.25-3 μs and must be strictly locked to the optical train with jitter less than 200 ps

Water cooling is required at above 10 kHz output rates (flow ~3 l/min, water temp. 19-30 C, ~80 W heat capacity)
USB control with drivers and software included

Also included:
Two Glan-Taylor calcite air-spaced polarizers with mounts
1.5-meter optical fiber for synchronization
LabView-compatible software

Pulse pickers

The pulse picker consists of the pockels cell, high voltage driver, synchronization and delay generator. It is suitable for single pulse selection from train of femtosecond or picosecond pulses. Also the device is used for pulse slicing in order to increase contrast.

  External high-frequency or optical reference
High-voltage pulse with adjustable delay
High-voltage pulse with adjustable amplitude
Two additional sync channels
High contrast
Low jitter

Applications
- Pulse selection
- Pulse Slicing
- Q-switching
