- 100’s of synchronization configurations accessible with the pulse picker embedded flexible electronics and its dedicated GUI
- Gating window adjustable in phase (10 ps step) and duration (2 ns step)
- Adjustable voltage level threshold for input pulse triggering down to 5 mV
This laser Pulse Picker turnkey solution is designed and optimized to modulate the intensity of light down to the nanosecond timing range in order to reject pulses with a high extinction ratio and keeping other pulses with a very low insertion loss. It is an ideal solution for laser pulse picking of mode-locked laser oscillators.
It contains our famous pulse-picker (TOMBAK) board. All use cases are explained in a well detailed Pulse picker Operating_manual and a specific application note.
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.). Complex systems, such as fiber lasers, can be quickly developed on this module platform.
