Ultrafast Pulse-Picking Solutions

Femtosecond pulses can be picked from the train at up to 1 MHz rate using pulse picker UP1 and digital synchronization and delay pulse generator - pMaster 4.0H. Generator synchronizes laser operating at up to 100 MHz rate with Pockels cell driver and triggers it to launch λ/4 operation of Pockels cell.

Employing double pass scheme, laser pulses with switched polarization are redirected from the train using high damage threshold thin film laser polarizers, which can also be provided by EKSMA Optics.
