This SOA pulse driver is a very compact unit optimized for single-shot to CW performance with pulse width lengths down to 1 nanosecond.
Key Features (scroll down to see all configurations and prices) :
- High dynamic range : >48 dB, High extinction ratio : >~50 dB
- Lossless device
- Timing Jitter down to 8 ps,
- Repetition rate up to 250 MHz
- User design pulse shape (SOA-shape only)
- User-set pulse width from 1 ns to CW (up to 8 µsec for SOA-shape)
- TEC temperature control
- No wavelength variation along the pulse duration
- Adjustable safety limits, current levels (average/peak), SOA temperature, etc.
- USB & analogue control.
Note that another product page is dedicated to the SOA+driver combo fully tested solutions
The GUI software lets the user have total control of all module functions. It includes several libraries for software integration (LabVIEW VIs, DLLs, Hexa, Python etc.)
This SOA Pulsed Driver works alone or in series with other products in our range like :
