Pulse-Shaping (Time-Domain) Products STO-LD-Lin-HS

Our proprietary technologies support a range of optical pulse generators, seed sources, and semiconductor laser drivers. The STO-LDa series includes pulsed products with picosecond-to-microsecond widths and peak power exceeding1W. Patent-pending ANYPULSE technology generates programmable optical-transmission time-domain waveforms. Control software allows user waveform programming with nanosecond resolution and11-bit amplitude resolution. High-speed, high-power linear laser drivers convert analog signals into optical transmission with peak laser current up to3A. High-speed, high-power digital drivers convert digital signals, with peak current up to0.5A, data rates up to1Gb/s, and PRBS data-pattern handling. Products integrate cooled or uncooled laser diodes and LEDs as required, spanning UV to IR, including1064 and1550nm. Evaluation boards and accessories are available for rapid module assessment. Products fall into four main groups: STO-LDa pulse generators, pulse-shaping (time-domain) products, laser drivers for3D ToF cameras, and test boards (fixtures) and accessories.

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.

STO Series Pulsed Semiconductor Power Supplies/Optical Pulse Generators Using our proprietary technological strengths, we produce optical pulse generators, seed sources, and semiconductor laser drivers. For example, the STO-LDa series includes pulsed products with pulse widths from picoseconds to microseconds and peak powers exceeding 1W. Our patent-pending ANYPULSE technology provides programmable optical transmission waveforms in the time domain. The control software allows users to program waveforms with nanosecond resolution and 11-bit amplitude resolution. Our high-speed, high-power linear laser drivers convert analog signals into optical transmission, with peak laser currents up to 3A. Our high-speed, high-power digital laser drivers convert digital signals into optical transmission, with peak laser currents up to 0.5A, data rates up to 1Gb/s, and support for PRBS data patterns. We integrate customer-required cooled or uncooled laser diodes and LEDs into our products, with wavelengths from ultraviolet to infrared, including 1064 and 1550nm. Evaluation boards and accessories can be supplied to help customers rapidly evaluate the modules. Product Applications (STO Series): Seed sources for pulsed fiber lasers; Laser sources for 3D cameras (time of flight); Pulse generators for laser rangefinders and lidar; Transmitters for telecommunications; Time-domain fluorescence microscopy. Products fall into four main categories: STO-LDa pulse generators, temporal pulse-shaping products, laser drivers for 3D ToF cameras, and test boards (fixtures) and accessories.

Adjustable pulse delay [Pulse/Digital Delay Generator]: 10ps~>1000s Adjustable pulse width [Pulse/Digital Delay Generator]: 5ns~>1000s Delay resolution [Pulse/Digital Delay Generator]: 10 ps

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-yyy-HS seed modules integrate the seed/oscillator section of pulsed MOPA fiber lasers. All key functions are included: adjustable pulse generator, laser driver, TEC controller and integrated diode.

Analog inputs control fine pulse width, bias current and temperature; each can be replaced by an onboard potentiometer for external or internal control. Designed for broad temperatures and maintenance-free use in commercial/industrial systems. Trigger: TTL/LVTTL, rising edge, high impedance; trigger width must exceed programmed pulse width.
