Output voltage pulses in case of bipolar devices and for full bridge Pockels cell drivers

Output voltage pulse with magnitude U is formed in case of bipolar module by applying +U/2 to positive output wire and –U/2 to negative. See bipolar pulses diagram above for more terms. “Pulse delay” and “Pulse width” are usually measured at 50% level from maximum. Rise and fall times are measured at 10-90% of voltage level.

Output voltage result in case of full-bridge Pockels cell driver topology (HVSW-03 and -04) represents pulses of alternating polarity
