Pulse Generation: Kentech Pulser Range | KENTECH

Kentech’s pulsers are high-voltage pulse generators with extremely fast rise times, designed for use in laser systems, radar, system response testing, and particle physics. They utilize technologies such as avalanche transistors and FETs to deliver both ultrafast pulses and high average power.

Benefits

• Rise times below 100 ps with avalanche technology
• Output voltages exceeding 6 kV from a single unit
• FET-based pulsers for longer pulses and high repetition rates
• Adaptable to various load impedances (not limited to 50 Ω)
• Custom-built solutions for specialized needs
• Low jitter for precise synchronization

Key Features

• Avalanche pulsers: ultra-fast rise times, ideal for peak powers in the megawatt range
• FET pulsers: longer pulses, high repetition frequency, several kW average power
• Pulse shaping options using active components or transformers
• Series or parallel configurations for increased power
• Capacitive load compatibility
• Upgradable power supplies for higher repetition rates

Typical Applications

• Laser triggering and optical systems
• Radar and microwave applications
• System response and simulation testing
• Particle accelerators and synchrotrons
• High-energy physics research
• Ultrafast imaging

Additional Information

Since 1983, Kentech has been developing custom pulser systems with continuous improvements in rise time, voltage, repetition rate, and jitter. Available as standard units or tailored designs, these pulsers offer flexibility and performance for the most demanding applications.
