PSPL1P601 & PSPL1P602 Pulse Pattern Generator Replacement

Recently the most important T&M manufactures have discontinued a wide set of data generators, instrument extremely useful for digital logic & ICs characterization, functional and debugging testing, radar and receiver applications, signal integrity experiments.

The PSPL1P601 is a single-channel, 1.6 GHz pulse/pattern generator; the PSPL1P602 includes a second signal output channel. Both models have been recently discontinued.

The operational flexibility and pattern generation capability of the Pulse/Pattern Generators makes them suitable for use in many different applications, including simplified simulation of serial data patterns when testing devices to characterize their performance under suboptimal conditions.

The Pulse Pattern Generator family (PPG), also known as Serial Data Pattern Generator (SPG), is designed to generate a stream of binary information.
The Pulse Pattern Generator is available as an option in the Arbitrary Waveform  AWG-5000 Series.

The AWG-5000 True-Arb and PPG mode capabilities, allow you to emulate fast pulse and serial patterns up to 1.5 GHz, 230 ps of minimum width with an analog amplitude of 5 Vpp into 50 Ohm using the Single Ended model and 1.5 Vpp into 50 Ohm / 3Vpp into 100 Ohm through the Differential models.

All the pulse and pattern parameters can be controlled run-time, built-in PRBS sequences, modulation features and transition shaping features, are the perfect tools for Jitter emulation applications, semiconductor and signal integrity testing, PAM signal emulation and advanced research.

Moreover Active Technologies Pulse Pattern Generators are equipped with an extremely easy to use interface that takes full advantage of a 7″ capacitive touch-screen display: you can replace legacy products with the maximum flexibility control and a powerful analog frontend.

Collective Radiative Dynamics of an Ensemble of Cold Atoms Coupled to an Optical Waveguide

The AWG-5000 Arbitrary Waveform Generator and  PG-1072 Fast Pulse Generator have been adopted by the research group Fundamental of Optics and Photonics led by Prof. Rauschenbeutel at the Humboldt University in Berlin.

Collective Radiative Dynamics of an Ensemble of Cold Atoms Coupled to an Optical Waveguide

The research group Fundamental of Optics and Photonics led by Prof. Rauschenbeutel at the Humboldt University in Berlin investigates light-matter coupling between ensembles of cold atoms and photons propagating in so-called optical nanofibers, i.e., glass fibers whose diameter is smaller than the optical wavelength. The special properties of these fibers make them suitable for use as a “quantum laboratory”.

Recently, the team has investigated the super  and subradiant dynamics of the nanofiber coupled atomic ensembles. This was done by exciting the atoms via short laser pulses generated by driving an electro-optic modulator with the AWG-5000 Arbitrary Waveform Generator by Active Technologies. The generated box-car shaped optical pulses had a rise-time of less than one nanosecond, which is much less than the excited state lifetime of the atoms in the ensemble and therefore ideal for these experiments.

Riccardo Pennetta is a postdoctoral fellow working the NanoFiRe Lab, in which optical nanofibers are employed to investigate the so-called multi-mode strong coupling regime of cavity quantum electrodynamics. This novel and experimentally unexplored regime promises a number of application in quantum information processing and the generation of non-classical states of light.

The AWG-5000 can generate sub-nanosecond pulses down to 230 ps reaching a voltage amplitude of 5Vpp on 50 ohm load and fast rise and fall time smaller than 110 ps. The pulses can be generated with any arbitrary shape giving the user the maximum of the flexibility in all the experiment conditions.

The PG-1072 pulse generator can generate sub-nanosecond pulses down to 300ps reaching a voltage amplitude of 5Vpp on 50 ohm load and fast rise and fall time smaller than 70 ps. The fast repetition rate up to 800MHz and the 10ps step resolution, allow the instrument to adjust the pulse width from 300ps up to greater than 1 second.
