Pockels Cell Driver "PCD-41"
HV rectangular pulse
It is recommended to use the new modification of the driver — PCD-42 — more performance, efficient and functional.
Generation of high voltage quasi-rectangular pulses with nanosecond rising and falling edges. HV output duration is determined by trigger pulse duration. Driver can be used for ultrafast optical beam modulation and deflection, control of laser regenerative amplifiers and pulse pickers.
PCD-41 — HV pulse duration is determined by duration of one external trigger pulse.
PCD-41T — HV pulse duration is determined by delay between rises of two external trigger pulses.
PCD-41P — HV pulse duration (2 ÷ 10 ns) is controlled by the built-in potentiometer.
