Overview

Ice Bloc PP is a versatile Pulse Picking timing controller for use with up to 200 MHz repetition rate lasers. The PP is ideal for precision laser machining applications with dual-channel reconfigurable control over burst period and duty cycle. The dual-channel timing outputs are ideal for use with Master Oscillator Power Amplifier and Regenerative Amplifier systems. Its customisable software interface allows easy integration with your experiments or OEM setups.
