We are pleased to introduce a range of systems designed for Pulse Picking and Regenerative Amplifier applications. Designed and manufactured by Conoptics Inc., these systems utilise Electro-optic modulator technology to achieve high levels of performance.

Pulse Picking is a technique for selecting individual pulses from a free-running mode-locked laser, typically a Ti Sapphire tuneable laser. This type of laser is used in many pump probe and semiconductor spectroscopy applications.

Each Conoptics Pulse Picker system comprises an optical modulator head, a modulator driver amplifier and a synchronous countdown unit. Choice of specific components depends on the wavelength and performance specifications required, but typically you can achieve:

  • Repetition Rates from single-shot to 20-30MHz
  • Gate Widths <18ns
  • Wavelengths from 500nm to 2000nm  

 

Choosing a Conoptics system gives you the following advantages:

  • Low voltage Electro-optic technology enabling high switching rates
  • Zero beam deflection
  • Low dispersion - especially useful for tuneable Ti Sapphire systems
  • Very competitive pricing
  • Facility to evaluate system before purchase
