the system comprises two independent front-ends, a nano-second front-end for pulses of
1 to 20 nanosecond duration with selectable pulse shape
The nanosecond front-end is entirely fiber based which makes it a very compact system
without further need for alignment. An attractive feature is the possibility to generate
arbitrary temporal pulse shapes with rise times of less than 100 ps by means of a fiber
based amplitude modulator section in combination with an arbitrary waveform generator,
making it a versatile front-end for a variety of experimental needs.
A Nd:glass ring regenerative amplifier amplifies the pulses to the energy level of 50 mJ
required for further amplification by the preamplifier module.
