Compact Timing Generator TG10 for Synchronization of Laser Systems and Components

12 Apr 2022

The new compact timing generator TG10 with an ultra-stable 0.2 ppm internal clock creates up to 8 delay channels precisely synchronized to the internal or external clock at up to 100 MHz repetition rate. TG10 features a precise trigger output with an exceptionally low 3-5 ps jitter, which makes it an ideal choice for high-speed acquisition systems like streak camera triggering.

User Friendly

In addition to the standard pulse generator features, TG10 allows to combine up to 4 pulse outputs to signals by OR, AND, NOT logical operations, and instantly switch between two configurations in delay blocks. Burst counter, gate input, frequency divider, or software commands may serve as the configuration switching signal sources. Configuration switch is used to control optical pulse pickers (EOM or AOM) in a highly flexible manner.

Applications

Timing Generator TG10 is dedicated to the synchronization of laser systems and laser components: Pockels cell drivers, acousto-optical modulator drivers, laser diode and flash lamp drivers, detectors, data acquisition systems, laser pulse pickers, etc. TG10 module can well be applied for passive or active mode-locked, Q-switched lasers (pulsed or QCW), data acquisition system triggering, general-purpose pulse generator, precise system clock source, laser pulse train converting to the clean clock source, or even all previously listed functions at once.

Features of TG10:

• Ultra-stable internal clock 0.2 ppm
• Precise delay control in range 2 ns to 150 ms
• 25 ps timing resolution
• HI-accuracy synchronization to the external pulse train
• DAC output
• Frequency divider
• Frequency divider for photodetectors
• Measurement of:
• Optical clock frequency
• Triggering frequency
• Delay
