Where to Buy Laser Synchronization Devices

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 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.

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.

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.

Cycle offers advanced modules for highly accurate detection of the relative timing between two pulse trains. There is the BOC, a balanced optical cross correlator, and the fully automated TCBOC (two-color balanced optical cross correlator). It can be used for ultra-low noise laser-to-laser synchronization with one common wavelength or two different wavelengths down to sub-10 fs integrated timing jitter and drift.

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.
