Among them, repetition rates to 100 MHz and precision control of amplitude and time domain. Combined with the BNC Model 6040 Mainframe, these modules generate fast pulses, subnanosecond impulses, and CW light while maintaining the excellent timing accuracy, low jitter, and nanosecond resolution of the mainframe. In addition, Model 130 has two inputs for stimulus from external signal sources: External Drive and External Modulation. With External Drive, the optical outputs are fast edge speed, flat-top pulses corresponding to the input signal timing. In External Modulation, an electrical signal is converted into an analog optical form. Thus, it is now possible to transform signals from instruments such as a function or arbitrary waveform generator into their optical equivalents at 1310 nm, as well as the other wavelengths described in the Model 6040 product bulletin. ##### [Features](#features-section) ##### [Specifications](#specifications-section) ##### [Accessories](#accessories-section) ##### [Downloable Resources](#downloadable-section) ##### [Price List](#pricelist-section) #### Overview ##### Features - Trigger Internal 0.01 Hz to 100 MHz; external 0 to 100 MHz - Pulse Width 3 ns to 640 s - Impulse 400 ps typical (fixed) - Delay 0 ns to 640 s (plus fixed delay) ##### Applications - Photo Multiplier - Photo Detector - Fiber Optics Testing #### Specifications ##### Light Out **Spectral Peak** 1310nm +/- 50nm **Spectral Width** < 5nm (typ) **Power Levels** 0 to 1mW baseline, 50uW to 1mW peak (up to 20mW custom); Impulse output fixed at 50 uW baseline and 0.75 mW peak (typical). **Resolution** 5 uW, 50 uW to 1 mW pulses 0 to 1 mW in External Modulation and CW. **Transition Times (20% to 80%)** 500 ps rise time, 1.5 ns fall time (with zero baselines) 1 ns rise time, 1 ns fall time (with non-zero baseline). **Dynamic Range** 13 dB, pulses with zero baseline 0 dB ( with nonzero baseline) External Modulation and CW. **Accuracy (Nonzero Baseline)** Absolute: +/- 1 dB, 100 uW to 1 mW.
