PulseDrive
Data Sheet

The modelocker PulseDrive generates a train of ultra-short pulses in cw-pumped laser systems. While it has been developed as an upgrade kit for Ar-Ion and Kr-Ion laser systems, it can also be customized for other typs of laser systems.

During the installation of the instrument, the optimal operating parameters are defined and set. The PulseDrive stores the data, so that it is ready for everyday usage.

Features
  • High stability due to a low noise quarz oscillator
  • Compact modulator head with integrated temperature control
  • Standard versions for different Ar+- and Kr+-laser types and resonator lengths
