PFD pro
Phase and frequency detector for error signal generation
The PFD pro is a broadband phase and frequency detector which generates an error signal from the phase and frequency difference between two lasers. It offers user friendly integration with TOPTICA lasers, control electronics and software. PFD pro enables a complete solution in which two lasers are phase locked to each other with an offset frequency which can easily be ramped or changed.
Typical applications include the phase lock of an optical frequency comb to a continuous wave reference laser, phase locks of lasers to an optical frequency comb, phase locks between two single frequency lasers with large frequency offsets, frequency ramps and jumps for laser cooling sequences, frequency scans for spectroscopy or the de-drifting of ultra-narrowband cavity-stabilized lasers.
Your Benefits
Broad range of offset frequencies
From 5 MHz to 10 GHz, for phase locks between two single frequency lasers even with large frequency offsets.
Support of frequency scans and jumps
Drive frequency ramps and jumps for laser cooling sequences, frequency scans for spectroscopy or the de-drifting of ultra-narrowband cavity-stabilized lasers.
User friendly remote control
Simply connect and start to work with the right settings.
Designed to cooperate with FALC pro
The combination of PFD pro and FALC pro results in powerful complete “all TOPTICA” lock solutions with outstanding relative phase and frequency stability at a maximum convenience. Check it out!
