ISEO is a low cost compact system, used to generate synchronisation
signals (high and low frequency) with programmable timing for one or
several laser systems and pulse sequences similar to the Burst Generator.
ISEO provides 20 outputs with tuning accuracy of 1 ns and typical jitter of
less than 50 ps, regardless of the chosen delay between the signals.
Driven by an internal or external R.F. at up to 100 MHz (from laser oscillator
for example), ISEO is used to control the timing of each element (pump
lasers, Pockels cells , Q-switches, shutters) and allows to improve jitter as
well as the stability of all signals.
ISEO also includes laser safety control. Each timer output can be inhibited
through software conditions and safety interlock: In case of oscillator clock
failure, an internal clock is generated to provide clean system shutdown and
safe operation of the pump lasers used in large femtosecond systems.
For users with more specific needs, custom configurations are also
available on special request, or several ISEO units can be cascaded if more
synchronisation signals are needed.
