Description
The PCD‐041 Pockels Cell Driver is an advanced device designed to generate high-voltage quasi-rectangular pulses with exceptional precision. This driver is engineered to deliver nanosecond rising and falling edges, ensuring rapid response times essential for high-speed applications. The duration of the high-voltage output is directly influenced by the trigger pulse duration, providing users with precise control over the pulse characteristics. This makes the PCD‐041 an ideal choice for ultrafast optical beam modulation and deflection, as well as for controlling laser regenerative amplifiers and pulse pickers.
One of the standout features of the PCD‐041 is its ability to produce quasi-rectangular high-voltage pulses, which are crucial for maintaining signal integrity in demanding applications. The device is equipped with a built-in pulsed high-voltage source, allowing for seamless integration into various systems. Additionally, the pulse amplitude can be adjusted using a trimmer or an external analog signal, offering flexibility in operation. The low voltage power supply requirement of 12V and a trigger pulse of 5V with an impedance of 50Ω make it compatible with a wide range of setups.
The PCD‐041 series offers different models, each tailored to specific voltage amplitude requirements, ranging from 1300V to 5800V. This versatility ensures that users can select the model that best fits their application needs. The device also boasts a pulse jitter of less than 200 picoseconds, ensuring consistent performance. With a pulse repetition rate of up to 2000 Hz, the PCD‐041 is well-suited for high-frequency operations. Its robust design and precise control capabilities make it an indispensable tool for professionals seeking reliable and efficient high-voltage pulse generation.
