Features


  • High-Voltage Switch (HVSW-03/HVSW-04): Essential for generating pulses with very fast rise and fall times, ensuring precise control over the laser pulse train.

  • PP-Control Synchronization Board: Aligns the sequence of high-voltage pulses with the optical pulse train, allowing for seamless integration with pulse pickers or regenerative amplifiers.

  • Versatile Application: Suitable for use with pico- and femtosecond lasers, effectively reducing repetition rates from tens of MHz to tens of kHz for optimal amplification.

  • Precision Timing: Synchronizes the electrical pulse leading and falling edges with optical pulses to ensure accurate pulse release from amplifiers.

  • Developer Kit: Ideal for laser industry professionals looking to implement or improve pulse picking techniques in their systems.

Applications


  • Pulse Picking in Laser Industry: Resample down the repetition rate of pulsed lasers, commonly used with pico- and femtosecond lasers.

  • Seed Laser Repetition Rate Adjustment: Reduce ordinary seed laser repetition rates from tens of MHz to necessary lower rates, approximately tens of kHz, for further amplification.

  • Regenerative Amplifier Pulse Control: Manage input/output of pulses into/from the regenerative amplifier.

  • High Voltage Switching: Utilize high voltage switches (e.g., HVSW-03) for producing pulses with fast rise and fall times.
