Synchronization Module

ASU – Analog Synchronization Unit

Affordable synchronization between RF sources

Lock fundamental and harmonic frequency at the same time
Digital phase detector for lock
24-bit ADC with an integrated configurable digital filter for harmonic frequency locking

Description

The fully automated ASU detects the time delay between an optical pulse train and the zero-crossings of a microwave signal.

It 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.

Applications

Jitter or phase measurement between pulsed lasers and microwave signals
Synchronization between pulsed lasers and microwave signals
Synchronization between microwave signals
Synchronization for pump & probe experiments
