Before You Buy: Learn About Laser Synchronization Devices
Continuous-wave single-frequency lasers may be synchronized in terms of optical phase, while ultrafast lasers can be synchronized concerning their pulse timing. These synchronization devices are crucial for applications requiring precise timing and phase control.
Some aspects to consider before buying laser synchronization devices: type of synchronization, synchronization accuracy, compatibility with lasers, durability, user interface, environmental resistance, calibration needs, maintenance, safety features, reliability, operational lifespan.

SY4000 series pulse synchronization module with delay generator is designed to create up to 8 delayed output pulse sequences precisely synchronized to internal or external clock. The SY4000 module is a timing generator dedicated to the synchronization of laser components: AOM drivers, Pockels cell drivers, laser diode and flash lamp drivers, detectors, data acquisition systems, etc.
EKSMA Optics offers a pulse synchronization module with the delay generator TG10 that is designed to create up to 8 delayed output pulse sequences precisely synchronized to an internal or external clock.
The primary element to realize a high precision synchronization device is the timing detector because it dictates the smallest timing error that can be detected. Cycle offers the lowest noise timing detectors in the market based on its patented balanced optical cross-correlator (BOC) technology. Due to a balanced optical detection scheme, the BOC provides exceptionally high timing sensitivity, attosecond timing resolution, amplitude invariance and robustness against environmental fluctuations. The output of the BOC is a baseband voltage signal that is proportional to the timing jitter between the two optical pulse trains. This output is used in a phase-locked loop to synchronize the two optical sources.
We offer BOCs to synchronize lasers operating on 800 nm, 1030 nm and 1550 nm wavelengths. Additionally, we also offer two color BOCs (TCBOC) to synchronize lasers operating different center wavelengths (e.g., locking a Ti:Sapphire laser to a Er fiber oscillator).
Synchronize your pulsed laser sources with highest accuracy: Menlo Systems' RRE-SYNCRO provides state-of-the art phase lock electronics in a complete and user-friendly system. Initially developed for the optical frequency comb technology, the RRE-SYNCRO is the heart of numerous laser synchronization applications such as ASOPS and timing distribution. Hundreds of our systems serve in the field, from less complex applications, such as laser-to-RF and laser-to-laser synchronization, to complete solutions for the distribution of a master RF, an optical reference, or a PPS signal throughout a large-scale research facility, such as the geodetic observatory at Wettzell. With few fs achievable timing jitter, our synchronization technology is leading in terms of precision.
SHIPS TODAY: the AeroDIODE TOMBAK pulse delay generator provides high frequency pulses, delays, and bursts. It is an ideal testing and timing control instrument for electronics, lasers, or camera setup. The adjustable detection threshold is as low as a few mV. This makes it an ideal tool for detecting ultra-short pulses through a photodiode. The pulse delay generator offers several operating modes including stand-alone generator, digital delay generator, frequency divider, burst generator, pulse picker, voltage level converter and arbitrary waveform generator (AWG). It is often used in a fiber modulation setup with EOMs, AOMs or SOAs. Applications include component testing, laser timing control, laser pulse picking, camera synchronization etc.
The ICMSG-100-5 digital pulse/delay generator is a four-channel device for synchronizing various types of equipment. It is primarily used in scientific and technological industries, such as laser photonics. It provides precise control over the timing of electronic signals, allowing for accurate synchronization of components in complex systems, such as pulsed laser systems, optics experiments, and other advanced technologies. The device is available in versions for laboratory use and for OEM use.
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.
