Versatile Function Generator*: VFG 150
VFG 150 - more than just an arbitrary waveform generator
  • Frequency switching modes phase-continuous, phase-coherent
  • Waveforms: sine, arbitrary
  • Frequency range 0 .. 150 MHz
  • USB 2.0 computer interface with streaming capability
  • Infinitely-long random sequences, not limited by storage capacity
 
Based on latest Direct Digital Synthesizer (DDS) and Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) technology, TOPTICA offers with the VFG 150 not only another 150 MHz arbitrary waveform generator but a novel approach to phase-controlled, coherently driven experiments in atom, ion and condensed matter physics.

Phase-controlled frequency switching of rf signals
The VFG 150 allows to predetermine the amplitude, frequency and phase of its sinusoidal output with a dwell time down to 100 ns. This unique feature permits the user to operate the frequency generator in various switching modes. Phase con-tinuous switching preserves the actual phase when changing from one frequency to another. In phase-coherent mode, the phase at the switching time is set such that the new rf oscillates in phase with a virtual rf of same frequency started at the beginning of the experimental sequence. Additionally, it allows for a user-defined phase offset maintaining the phase information of a given frequency all the time.

Unlike arbitrary waveform generators, which are limited by their internal memory, the VFG 150 can emit infinitely long signal trains with a very high complexity.
