Pockels Cell Drivers
High Repetition-Rate Systems
high Repetition Rate
fast switching, on and off
variable Pulse-duration
double Pulses with Spacing < 30nsec
low Jitter
for BBO / RTP / KD*P Pockels-cells
for precision Switching with low Jitter and perfect Pulse Shapes
The system normally is delivered with an optical head, HV-powersupply and timing-system. Any custom specification, i.e. optimized for any other Pockels cells than shown below or other voltages, can be delivered.
Patent applications pending: DE 10251888.2, EP 03025619.2, US 698464
General Specifications *) These specifications are mutually dependent, i.e. reprates of 1.6 MHz are achievable at switching voltages of 1.0kV,
at 10kV reprate may be limited to about 30 or 40kHz, higher switching voltage tends to increase risetime.
For a burst mode switch maximum average pulse frequency must be observed.
