QBU-series Pockels Cell Drivers

QBU-10kV is an extension of QBU-series with up to 10kV operating voltage range. Its parameters and distinctive features are:

• Duplicates at its HV output the external driving TTL signal;
• Up to 10kV output voltage;
• Up to 5 kHz @10 kV pulse repetition rate, much higher performance at lower voltages.
• <20 nsec rise- and <25 nsec fall-time

QBD-mini is the subcompact driver in the QBD-series. Main parameters/features are as follows:

• Duplicates at its High-Voltage Output the external driving TTL signal
• Up to 3.5kV output voltage
• Up to 50 kHz Pulse Repetition Rate (depends on voltage)
• <15 nsec (~10 nsec typ.) rise- and fall times
• Compact OEM design (as small as 140x50x20 mm)

Applications

• Q-switching
• Pulse picking, pulse slicing

Features

• Compact (as small as 102x50x20 mm)
• Output is triggered by an arbitrary external TTL signal
• Up to 4.0 kV output voltage
• > 10 kHz repetition rate (4.0 kV, 7 pF)
• < 10 ns rise time and fall time

Applications

• ultrafast optical beam modulation and deflection
• control of laser regenerative amplifiers
• pulse picking

Features

• Input – 12 V DC
• Pulse width adjustable up to ~ 800 ns
• Unipolar output
• Up to 5.8 kV output voltage
• Up to 2 kHz repetition rate
• 1-3 ns rise and fall time
• Operating temperature -40…+60° C

QBU-series Pockels cell drivers have higher performance and wider functionality than QBD-series drivers and may be used for advanced beam control. Main parameters/features are as follows:

• Extremely flexible topology
• Duplicates at its High-Voltage Output the external driving TTL signal
• HV push-up and pull-down configurations
• Up to 6 kV output voltage
• Up to 100 kHz Pulse Repetition Rate
• <15 nsec (~10 nsec typ.) rise- and fall times
• Compact OEM design
