QBD-nano is an extremely compact Pockels cell drivers producing high voltage pulses with high repetition rates, fast rise time and adjustable pulse amplitude. Wide temperature range of operation is another important feature.
It produces an up to 5 kV bipolar output voltage. Please, note that by bipolar device an output pulse voltage U is formed by applying +U/2 to positive output wire and –U/2 to negative.
QBD-nano is specially designed to control Pockels cells by applying a fast switching high voltage. The module requires +5 V DC power supply and a pulse generator to set an operating frequency. An output voltage level can be programmed in 2600 V-3800 V range (base version QBD-nano-3801) by user either manually (through onboard configuration trimpot) or automatically (applying a DC voltage between respective pins).
QBD-nano is based on avalanche transistors and offers fast transition time for a leading pulse edge. The recovery time by QBD-nano is relatively long (5-10 μs for the trailing pulse edge vs 1-3 ns by QBU-nano).
QBD-nano has some duration (on-time, "shelf"). It could be choosen at the time of order in 0.5-1 μs range. By default, it is 0.8-0.9 μs.
