QBU-nano is a compact Pockels cell drivers producing high voltage quasi-rectangular unipolar pulses with high repetition rates, fast rise and fall time and adjustable pulse amplitude and pulse width. Wide temperature range of operation is another important feature.
The module requires +12 V DC power supply and a pulse generator to set an operating frequency and the pulse duration. It is possible to program an output voltage level (up to 5.8 kV) in 70-100% level from VMAX range by user either manually (through onboard configuration trimpot) or automatically (applying a DC voltage between respective pins).
The output pulse duration is determined by time between two triggers, X3 and X4.
QBU-nano is based on avalanche transistors and offers fast transition time for both pulse edges.
Please, kindly regard also:
- ultra fast (1-3 ns rise), ultra small (40×30 mm) kHz-range QBD-nano for cavity dumping
- ultra fast (3-4 ns rise and fall), small (80×50 mm), up to 10 kHz-range, 10-1000 ns duration QBY-4001 and QBY-4010 on GaN transistors, for regenerative amplifier control.
- ultra fast (3-4 ns rise and fall), up to 5 kHz-range, 10-1000 ns duration driver in a case for laboratory. QBY-BT on GaN transistors, for regenerative amplifier control and pulse picking.
