Description
The **QBU-BT-10kV Pockels Cell Driver** series, which includes models **QBU-BT-9036**, **QBU-BT-8032**, and **QBU-BT-7028**, is designed to deliver high-voltage pulses with exceptional precision and flexibility.
These drivers are engineered to handle high repetition rates with fast rise and fall times, making them ideal for demanding applications in the laser industry. The adjustable voltage amplitude and pulse width provide users with the flexibility to tailor the output to their specific needs, ensuring optimal performance in various scenarios. With the capability to output voltages up to 10 kV, these drivers support Pockels cells under half-wave voltage schemes and can accommodate larger crystals. This high output voltage is crucial for applications requiring precise control and high power, enabling users to achieve superior results in their optical systems.
The user-friendly interface allows for easy adjustments of voltage levels, operating frequency, and pulse width either via RS-232 or directly from the front panel, providing seamless integration into existing setups.
The QBU-BT-10kV series offers versatile triggering options, either through an internal clock or an external device signal. This flexibility ensures that the drivers can be synchronized with a wide range of systems, enhancing their adaptability and usability in various industrial and research environments. Additionally, the bipolar output of the module, which forms a 4kV pulse by producing +2kV on one wire and -2kV on another, ensures that all high-voltage outputs are accurately described in terms of voltage differences, providing clarity and precision in operation.
