Key Benefits

  •  Adjustable Bipolar Amplitude Control
    Supports tunable high voltage amplitudes from 1 kV to 6 kV for multi-modal experiment set-ups or ramped start-up sequencing.

  •  Adjustable Pulse Width Control
    Supports tunable flat-top pulse durations in 100 ps steps to match precise calibration requirements.

  • Stable Waveform with Minimal Ringing
    Optimized pulse edges reduce overshoot and settling time into repeatable flattops for consistent gating.

  • Fast Rise/Fall Times
    Delivers sharp ns scale transitions for advanced timing precision.

  • Integrated Fault Protection
    Detects intermittent opens, shorts, and arc faults to trigger protection measures and prevent damage to connected hardware.

  • Robust Operation
    Health monitoring allows transparent maintenance tracking. Redundant design withstands damaging events without altering performance, ensuring continued operation in systems where up-time is critical.

  • Precision Co-timing and Stability
    Pulse architecture produces two identical and co-timed opposite polarity pulses to ensure matched kicker gating and stability.

Mission-Ready Configuration

Delivered as a fully integrated HV pulser unit with adjustable pulse width, high-voltage connectors, and internal fault protection. Designed for plug-and-play deployment into beamline or laboratory timing systems. Operational control available through standard interfaces; optimized for long-term reliability in high-throughput environments.
