Description

This SYNC option comprises a phase-locked-loop with a fine piezo (PZT) cavity length adjustment feature for the laser resonator, and a coarse cavity length control by a motorized translation stage. It automatically keeps the mode-locked pulse train in synchronization with the reference signal with a low timing jitter.

Specifications

Reference signal frequency* 77.760 MHz (or pls. specify)
Reference signal amplitude ~0 dBm into 50 Ohms required
Timing jitter

<500 fs (rms)
