Where to Buy Timing Electronics for Photonics

Cycle’s fully automated Analog Synchronization Unit (ASU) is a versatile device which can measure the timing jitter or phase noise between any optical or microwave signal.

It generates a baseband signal that is proportional to the timing error between the two inputs, which in turn can be used in a phase-locked loop configuration to synchronize a laser to a microwave source or vice versa or two microwave sources.

The TG10 is a timing generator dedicated to the synchronization of laser systems and laser components: Pockels cell drivers, acousto-optical modulator drivers, laser diode and flash lamp drivers, detectors, data acquisition systems, laser pulse pickers, etc. The TG10 is designed to create up to 8 delayed output sequences precisely synchronized to the internal or external clock. A photodetector or electrical signal can be used as the input source to be synchronized with.

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.
