Where to Buy Laser Synchronization Devices

The KMLabs Halcyon™ repetition-rate stabilized oscillator is popular with customers who need to synchronize oscillator laser pulses with pulses from another laser or with a synchrotron. Electronics included with the Halcyon lock its output to the customer’s reference signal and can provide timing jitter of less than 150 fs. Stabilization of the repetition rate is achieved through multiple features including a temperature-stabilized breadboard, a motorized stage for coarse feedback, and a small piezo-mounted mirror for fast feedback. The KMLabs team works closely with each Halcyon customer to ensure that the system meets their specific needs. Due to the flexible design of the Halcyon™, it can lock to reference signals over a very wide range: 75 MHz to 4 GHz.

TOPTICA offers solutions for synchronization of ultrafast fiber laser and continuous-wave (cw) lasers. Synchronized femtosecond fiber lasers are a key element for applications like time-resolved microscopy and pump–probe spectroscopy. Phase and frequency locking of TOPTICA’s broad portfolio of tunable cw diode laser is supported by a range of versatile laser locking electronics.

EKSMA Optics offers a pulse synchronization module with the delay generator SY4000 that is designed to create up to 8 delayed output pulse sequences precisely synchronized to an internal or external clock.

AeroDiode has developed various devices for the synchronization of pulsed lasers. This includes optical burst shapers, pulse delay generators (with 10 ps delay resolution) for driving EOMs, AOMs or SOAs, and pulse picker synchronization boards.
