Overview

The DR-PL family is a set of RF amplifier modules designed to drive LiNb03 so as to generate undistorted optical pulses.

The DR-PL are wideband RF amplifier modules optimized for given Frequency Repetition Rate (FRR) and Pulse Width (PW). They accommodate pulse trains with FRR up to the GHz, with PW down to 50 ps. They operate from a single voltage power supply for ease and safety of use and feature an output voltage control for maximum flexibility. An optional heat sink is proposed as a complementary equipment.

The DR-PL modulator driver comes in a compact connectorized module that matches (mechanically and impedance) directly with iXblue phase and intensity modulators.
