Digital Signal Delay Generator TOMBAK
The TOMBAK digital signal delay generator offers modes including standalone signal generation, digital delay generation, frequency division, burst generation, pulse picking, voltage-level conversion, and arbitrary waveform generation (AWG). It typically works with EOMs, AOMs, or SOAs for device testing, laser timing, pulse picking, camera synchronization with photodiode signals, and board-level OEM integration. GUI software controls all module functions and includes integration libraries such as LabVIEW VIs, dll, Hexa, and Python. Functions shown in the referenced illustrations: TOMBAK delays output relative to input with adjustable pulse width; TOMBAK generates burst-controlled output with adjustable delay and width; TOMBAK synchronizes output to a synchronization signal with adjustable pulse width and delay; TOMBAK divides input frequency with adjustable output width and delay; TOMBAK converts input amplitude thresholds into digital output as a voltage-level converter. Application example: laser repetition rates above40MHz complicate detection, requiring reduction from40MHz to5MHz. In the illustrated scheme, the onboard PD of TOMBAK converts optical signals to electrical signals; TOMBAK reduces their frequency, and the reduced-frequency electrical signal drives the RF driver to lower the laser repetition rate.

STO-LDa-gs S Seed Laser / Picosecond Optical Pulse Generator / Power Supply Pulse Generator Sinteclaser
Pulse-Width Range in Gain-Switched Mode [Depends on Laser-Diode Type]: 40ps - 150ps Peak Power [Depends on Laser-Diode Type]: 200mW - ~1W Bias Current [Can Be Increased to 100mA on Request]: 0 - 50mA
The STO-LDa-gs seed-laser assembly integrates the seed-source (oscillator) section of pulsed MOPA fiber lasers, including a trigger generator, adjustable pulse-width generator, laser power supply, TEC controller, and laser diode. An onboard potentiometer adjusts optical peak power. Internal or external triggering is available; each rising-edge external trigger produces one pulse. External analog voltage controls optical width from gain-switched operation (~50ps) to above1ns. Analog inputs set bias current and temperature, and each can be replaced by an onboard potentiometer for internal settings. Bias-current control affects spectral width or extinction ratio. Wide-temperature, maintenance-free operation suits industrial laser OEM integration, with options available on request.
