Description

NBU-1012 discharge circuit is designed for simplification of solid-state laser systems development. The module forms quasi-rectangular pulses on a flashlamp (using energy stored in an external capacitor bank) and provides simmer current during the interval between pulses. By default, NBU-1012 includes capabilities both for serial and external triggering.

The flashlamp operating frequency and pulse duration is to be varied by +5 V TTL signal from an external control device to the respective pin.

The module includes IGBT, its driver, protective circuits, simmer and trigger circuits, discharge resistors and controls. It also contains a fan for active cooling.

Simplified as well as more complicated modifications are available on request. We have also the serial simplified model NBU-0808 discharge circuit, up to 800V, a bit less power output but interesting price. 

The NBU-1508 discharge circuit forms bell-shaped pulses of fixed length on a flashlamp. Typical applications are Q-switched Nd:YAG lasers or similar.

For high power IPL and long pulse Nd:YAG, KTP, Alexandrite laser systems we offer the NBD-0505-PWM discharge circuit with PWM (pulse-width modulation) technology. The module forms rectangular or quasi-rectangular pulses on a flashlamp.
