This new output stage for the Model 575 Digital Delay / Pulse Generator increases max pulse amplitudes to 45V. The company has used modern circuitry to achieve these higher voltages with the same pulse generator architecture, resulting in a low cost for the dual channel output stage. The 45V pulses have risetimes <2.0 nS and pulse widths as wide as 10 seconds, with repetition rates up to 100 KHz. The performance achievements enable faster testing of high power lasers systems and enable developments in laser diode drivers and pump lasers. Other applications which benefit are capacitor banks, semiconductor assay and pyrotechnics detonations. Sled tests and high speed cameras, shutters and frame-grabbers all have potential benefits with the fast high voltage pulser.
"While we have offered pulsers up to 1000 Volts for quite some time, the fast risetimes and rep rates in the Model AT45 introduce new functionality customers have asked for. We can upgrade units in the field or offer the systems new for under three thousand dollars", comments Applications Engineer John Yee.
"The higher voltage outputs come at a time when customers are reluctant to purchase additional capital equipment and are looking for expanding the functionality of their existing product. We are pleased with the results."

For applications in sensor development, the new Universal Counter from Berkeley Nucleonics offers a host of eye-popping features that further the research and test capability of sensor R&D laboratories. The new counter allows users to set up counting statistics and mean measurement modules which lead to broader evaluations of DUTs. The built-in Limit Testing allows users to generate reports based on count results within certain preset constraints.
Berkeley Nucleonics is a manufacturer of pulse and delay generators, arbitrary waveform generators and several counters. Our frequency and time interval counters range in performance and price from general purpose 400MHz systems under $2K to very specialized, 1 picosecond time interval counting. Give us a call or visit our engineers in our chat room, we’re happy to talk with you.

Berkeley Nucleonics, a manufacturer of pulse and delay generators, arbitrary waveform generators and frequency counters, was selected by a European research establishment to provide a large timing system for laser timing and triggering in new experimental efforts on high energy, high power lasers and hot plasmas. The timing of the BNC Model 588, which combines 8 channels of delay and width in a rack mount module less than 2 inches high, allows researchers to combine 100’s of channels of timing in a small area. The timing properties and features of the BNC Digital Delay Generators (250 picosecond resolution, improved 200 picosecond low jitter, channel by channel rate and amplitude selection). Major goal of research in this field include thermonuclear fusion for energy production, materials processing, physics of high-energy-density matter and planetary science.
Berkeley Nucleonics has a long history of supporting research in Europe. It’s first products were shipped to Germany in the 1960’s. Soon after, customers from the UK, France and Spain also began ordering Berkeley Nucleonics pulse and delay generators. The company has local service and support in 9 European Union member states and can address a broad range of customer and off-the-shelf test, measurement or nuclear instrumentation requirements.

Underwater radiation screening and survey can be accomplished for under $1000 with the new option for the Berkeley Nucleonics palmRAD. Part 7010, an underwater case for radiation detection is useful for marine use, rainy conditions, or routine ship cargo confirmations. The palmRAD radiation detector has a sensitive GM Tube and also detects alpha, beta and X-Ray quickly. Usual response time is less than 3 seconds and the total accumulated counts are stored. Berkeley Nucleonics recently delivered a large number of palmRAD 907s and underwater cases to a US research organization looking at survey of radiation levels in harsh environmental conditions.
