	SPS/VR This pulser is a variable pulse length device offering a discrete range of pulse lengths via a front panel or remote control. The amplitude of around 1kV into 50 Ω is ideally suited to gating MCP devices. The unit combines Fet and Avalanche pulsers to give fast rising long pulses. Variable voltage is also available.

	Fast Sweep Generator for Streak tubes This unit is custom designed for Axis Photonique, Inc. It produces two complementary fast ramps of 2kV into a small capacitive load. The unit also contains bias circuitry for setting the sweep start position.
	20kHz Q switch driver This compact pulser is designed as a "Q" Switch driver, delivering around 950 volts into up to a 100pf load at 20kHz. The pulse width can be adjusted from around 12ns to 50ns. Rise time is load dependent but typically in the range 5 to 12ns. Runs from a 9 volt supply.
	Precision Delay Generator This is a delay generator using passive delay lines under computer control for very accurate delay of trigger signals. Each unit is carefully calibrated to remove manufacturing tolerances. It offers an insertion delay of 6.5ns and a maximum settable delay of 20ns in 25ps steps. The jitter is insignificant as the device is passive and the timing drift is only that caused by thermal expansion of the delay lines.
	Continuously variable Pulser This pulser offers continuously variable pulse length from sub ns to a few ns. The pulse amplitude is 1kV into 50Ω but the technology could be extended to higher voltages. This is ideal for gating microchannel plates. Variable voltage is also available.
	Dual Channel Deflector Pulser. This pulser is for driving deflector plates in time of flight particle beam system. It offers balanced outputs and built in timing circuitry. A relative delay between the two outputs may be used to control the time for which a beam dwells on an aperture to control the beam pulse length.
	HVS/S This pulse source offers a square output wave form in the range 0.2 to 6ns (factory fixed) at voltages to 2.5kV in to 50 Ω. Ideal for microchannel plate gating with impedances below 50Ω or pockels cell gating at wavelengths around 700nm.
	PBG2/NNSS This is a dual channel pulser with independent triggers. Each channel is capable of 3.5kV into 50Ω producing square pulses. The pulse lengths are factory fixed but do not have to be the same on each channel. This is ideal for pockels cell driving at 1 micron or microchannel plate gating of wide strips.
	PBG2 This is a general purpose pulser with 100ps risetime delivering around 9.5kV into 50Ω.
	PBG5 . This pulser combines many switch channels to generate a voltage of 24kV into a single 50Ω output at 1kHz, with 130ps rise time. This design can be extended to higher voltages, e.g. the PBG7, a 50kV version. Pulse shape is a fast rise slow fall unformed pulse. It is suitable for ultra wide band radar. WAVEFORMS

The picture shows only one quarter of the complete system which provides 20 synchronous output channels each delivering over 9kV into 50Ω with ~2ns rise time. Repetition rates are 30kHz continuous or 60kHz burst mode. Average power during a burst is greater than 5kW
	Dual channel Pockels cell driver This unit was custom designed to gate the pockels cells of two laser chains synchronously or with a specified delay at low relative jitter. The output is suitable for use with dual crystal cells at 1 micron. The gate length on each output may be set independently in 100ps steps from 200ps to 12.7ns and may be controlled via a remote computer. The design incorporates several fail safe features to prevent accidental long gates which might damage optical components.
