Pulse Picker

An electro-optic modulator (Pockels cell) driver for selecting one or up to four laser pulses from a pulse train or cleaning pre-pulses to increase ns-scale temporal contrast. The dual-channel pulse picker has a popular application in Ti:sapphire ring regenerative amplifiers for injecting and ejecting a seed pulse.

Features:
▪ HV pulse can be up to 8-kV
▪ Up to 4 HV pulses can be applied on a EO crystal
▪ Single cable connection between a dual-channel pulse picker and its driver
▪ Compact and low EMI
▪ Maintenance free (the first pulse picker has been operated for more than 5 years without problems)
▪ OEM version available
