Pulse drivers
To generate undistorted optical pulses Exail offers a set of dedicated wideband RF amplifier modules: the DR-PL serie..
The DR-PL drivers are optimized for given Frequency Repetition Rate (FRR) and Pulse Width (PW). They accommodate pulse trains with FRR up to the GHz, with PW down to 50 ps. They operate from a single voltage power supply for ease and safety of use and feature an output voltage control for maximum flexibility. An optional heat sink is proposed as a complementary equipment.
Pulse applications can also be performed using the DR-VE drivers. These RF amplifier modules are VErsatile and work for analog, pulse and digital application. Using the pulse preset ensures a wide
bandwidth for fast rise and fall time. An embedded microcontroller allows the user to select the right operating mode and have a custom tuning mode where the gain, amplitude and cross point can be optimized.
Exail drivers come in a compact connectorized module that matches (mechanically and impedance) directly with Exail intensity modulators.
