Optical Pulse Generator uses single-mode fiber.
February 28, 2007 -
Providing 100 mW peak power at 1,550 nm, diode-based Model 155H-4 produces light that is insensitive to vibrations and harsh environments. It allows external triggering of light source to follow user-generated event, or instrument can self-trigger. Delays may be dialed in 1 ns steps, making external delay generator unnecessary. Since light source is triggerable and drivable, pattern of multiple pulses, irregularly spaced, can be created on same output.

New High Power Optical Pulse Generator
San Rafael, CA; February 15, 2007 - Berkeley Nucleonics Corporation (BNC) is announcing the first optical pulse generator to provide 100mW pulses through a single-mode fiber. High power optical pulse sources with adjustable rates, widths, and power levels speeds the testing of optical receiver and rangefinder systems.
These diode-based, fiber-delivery light sources provide light that is insensitive to vibrations and harsh environments. To provide comparable light levels in the past, multi-mode fiber was used. Unlike a multi-mode fiber configuration in which vibration and fiber placement can affect power levels, the Model 155H-4 uses a more stable single-mode fiber.
BNC's 155H-4 provides 100mW of peak power at 1550 nm. If requested, wavelengths from 1540 nm to 1580 nm can be selected by the factory. The 155H-4 allows external triggering of the light source to follow a user-generated event, or the instrument can self trigger. Delays (range) may be dialed in 1 ns steps making an external delay (range) generator unnecessary.
The 155H-4 can be modulated to create pulses with repeatable and identifiable patterns on the pulse top. Target identification may be an application. Since the light source is triggerable and drivable, a pattern of multiple pulses, irregularly-spaced, can be created on the same output. Multiple target simulation may be an application.
