Description

The GFT1000 can provide one hundred of delayed pulses to equipment’s distributed over an area of thousands of square meters, within a time resolution of 1 ps (100 ps in option).

The basic version of the GFT1000 is a system made with eleven synchronized units. One unit is the Master Oscillator (GFT3022) and provides the triggers and time base to eight Slave units (GFT1008) via an optical network (splitter and optical fibers). Each Slave is a digital delay generator and provides sixteen channels. The delay of each channel is programmable up to 10 second with a resolution of 1 ps. Channel to channel jitter is less than 10 ps RMS. In standard BNC output delivers 1.5 ns / 10V level into 50 Ω.

Amplitude and width are independently adjustable on each output giving you complete time and amplitude domain control. Each channel can be independently set to trigger in single shot mode, or repetitive mode with a set of frequencies between 0.1 Hz and 10 kHz.

External clock input allows to synchronize the GFT1000 to an 10 MHz frequency standard or to selectable clock frequency (Mode Lock laser).

The high accuracy, wide range, low jitter, and up to 1 km separation between the channels, designate the GFT1000 as the ideal solution to many critical timing problems encountered in large physics system like Synchrotron, Accelerator and High energy laser. The basic version provides 128 channels distributed over 10 areas. In option the number of channels can be extended up to 4000 and the number of areas up to 256.
