Synchronization Module

E-SYNC – Electronic Synchronization Unit

Versatile & precise phase and frequency locking electronics

Less than 100 fs RMS timing jitter
Advanced fundamental and harmonic frequency lock functionality
User adjustable delay between locked oscillators
Automated search and lock mechanism via GUI

Description

E-SYNC features advanced phase lock electronics, offering a comprehensive and easy-to-use user interface allowing auto search and lock.

E-SYNC generates a baseband signal that is proportional to the timing error between the two inputs, which in turn can be used in a phase-locked loop configuration to synchronize a laser to a microwave source or vice versa or two microwave sources.

E-SYNC features a wide range of options including precise harmonic lock, laser stepper control, RF regeneration, external reference inputs (10 MHz / 100 MHz / 1 GHz), ECOPS, ASOPS etc.
