Metrology and quality assurance

Basic Working Principles

Photonics drivers, particularly RF and Pockels cell drivers, play a crucial role in controlling optical devices.

  • Pockels Cell Drivers:
    Comprising a high-voltage power source and a modulation circuit, these drivers generate high-voltage pulses that induce an electro-optic effect within the Pockels cell. This results in rapid changes in refractive index, allowing for optical switching, attenuation, and power stabilization. The pulse rise/fall time is <10 ns, making it suitable for high-speed Q-switching and pulse selection.
  • RF Drivers:
    These drivers include RF sources, switches, and amplifiers, offering digital and analog control. By altering RF output modes, these drivers adapt to applications such as Q-switching, frequency shifting, and beam modulation. RF drivers are equipped with first-pulse suppression features for enhanced performance stability.
