Frequently Asked Questions

The pulseSelect Dual is a single pulse selector using two acousto-optical Bragg cells.

The pulseSelect Dual comes in two variants: pulseSelect Dual (serial) and pulseSelect Dual parallel.

The pulseSelect Dual (serial) is designed to allow for the highest contrast ratio of above 6000:1 by placing two Bragg cells, both synchronized to a common clock, in serial configuration. The pulseSelect Dual parallel is designed for selecting pulses from two synchronized laser sources, e.g. with different wavelengths, simultaneously by placing two Bragg cells, both synchronized to one common clock with one common division ratio but independent delay settings, in parallel configuration.

The pulseSelect Dual has been developed for the special demands of femtosecond or picosecond laser technology. Pulse distortion is minimized by a low dispersive design and the use of reflective optics. The use of an acousto-optical selection element allows for high repetition rates and high contrast ratio.

The pulse selection specifications of the pulseSelect Dual include standard HP-Ti:Sa, HP-Ti:Sa Dualband, wavelength of 500-1600 nm, 680-1080 nm, and 680-1080 nm and 340-540 nm, max. laser input power of <2 W (SiO2), <5 W (SiO2), and <0.5 W (TeO2), and input frequency of 70-85 MHz and option 25-70 MHz
