Description
QBU-mini Pockels Cell Driver Overview The QBU-mini-series Pockels cell drivers are designed to deliver exceptional performance in generating bipolar high voltage pulses. These drivers are capable of operating at high repetition rates with impressively fast rise and fall times, typically around 10 ns.
The voltage amplitude and pulse width are adjustable, ranging from a minimum of 200 ns to continuous wave (CW), providing versatility for various applications. The bipolar nature of the QBU-mini-series means that a 4 kV pulse is achieved by applying +2 kV to the positive output and -2 kV to the negative.
The modules are powered by a +24 V DC supply and require a pulse generator to set the operating frequency and pulse width. Users can program the output voltage level within the working range manually via an onboard trimpot or remotely by applying a DC voltage to the respective pin. Incorporating an external low voltage TTL signal for triggering allows for diverse output modes, including base voltage settings and user-defined non-periodic pulses. This flexibility makes the QBU-mini-series an excellent choice for applications requiring precise pulse control and high performance.
Ordering Information The QBU-mini series offers several modifications to cater to specific voltage requirements. The part number configuration is QBU-mini-XXYY, where 'XX' represents the maximum output high voltage level and 'YY' represents the minimum output high voltage level. Popular configurations include the QBU-mini-4016, QBU-mini-3514, QBU-mini-3012, QBU-mini-2008, and QBU-mini-1004, each offering distinct high voltage adjustment ranges. Custom modifications are available upon request, ensuring that specific operational needs can be met with precision.
The "parent" model of QBU-mini is QBU Pockels cell driver, with the pulses up to 6 kV and both edges fast.
