Description

Pulse picker MP1 consists of built-in fast driver and a Pockels cell. This unit is able to select pulses at up to 1 MHz rate.

MP1 is operated by pMaster 4.2 timing generator which provides sync pulses for driver control and has a built-in power supply. MP1 can be synchronized with a laser generating pulse train with max 60 MHz repetition rate for single pulse picking task when it is in setup with pMaster 4.2 generator.

MP1 pulse picker comes with BBO or DKDP Pockels cell and is set for quarter wave voltage operation. On special requests BBO cell can be changed to KTP Pockels cell for half wave voltage operation.

MP1 can be set for operation at stadard laser wavelengths (1064 nm, 1030 nm, 800 nm) or at any specific laser wavelength in the range from 500 nm to 2000 nm.
