Page 5: Introduction
1 MHz. The pulse width is adjustable from 0.5 to 1000 ns. The rise and fall times are 250 ps or less. The AVO-9B1-B-P1C consists of a mainframe unit and an AVX-S1-P1C series output module, which provides a socket into which the user's laser diode may be inserted. The mainframe generates voltage pulses of between 0 and -13V. -

Page 18: General Information
INSTALLING THE DEVICE UNDER TEST The AVO-9B1-B-P1C has a “P1C” high-speed socket for pins 8-14 of the diode under test. If the “-T1C” option has been specified, a slide-on socket for pins 1-7 of the diode will also be present. - Page 19 (TEC+). DB-9 pin 5 connects to diode pin 7 (TEC-). The remaining DB-9 pins are unconnected. Pins 4 and 5 of the diode are grounded. Pin 3 is unconnected. Access to the photodiode, if present, is not provided. This option is designed for compatibility with Thorlabs temperature controllers and certain QPhotonics laser diodes.

The 25Ω resistance is built into the AVX-S1-P1C output module. -
Page 23: Basic Pulse Control
BASIC PULSE CONTROL This instrument can be triggered by its own internal clock or by an external TTL trigger signal. In either case, two mainframe output channels respond to the trigger: OUT and SYNC. • OUT. This is the main output. The maximum output voltage is -13V. •... -

In general, the delay, pulse width, and frequency (when in the internal mode), of the OUT pulse can be varied with front panel controls or via the GPIB or RS-232 computer interfaces. -
Page 25: Gating Modes
The pulse width and delay of the output pulse may vary slightly with the amplitude setting, particularly at lower amplitudes. For some demanding applications, it may be desirable to use external attenuators in conjunction with the AVO-9B1-B-P1C, instead of generating a low-amplitude pulse directly. -
Page 26: Protecting Your Instrument
PROTECTING YOUR INSTRUMENT DO NOT EXCEED 1 MHz The output stage may be damaged if triggered by an external signal at a pulse repetition frequency greater than 1 MHz. USE A 50 Ω LOAD The mainframe output stage may be damaged if the output is not terminated into the output module or a 50Ω... -

Page 33: Mechanical Information
MECHANICAL INFORMATION TOP COVER REMOVAL If necessary, the interior of the instrument may be accessed by removing the four Phillips screws on the top panel. With the four screws removed, the top cover may be slid back (and off). Always disconnect the power cord and allow the instrument to sit unpowered for 10 minutes before opening the instrument. -
Page 34: Maintenance
MAINTENANCE REGULAR MAINTENANCE This instrument does not require any regular maintenance. On occasion, one or more of the four rear-panel fuses may require replacement. All fuses can be accessed from the rear panel. See the “FUSES” section for details. CLEANING If desired, the interior of the instrument may be cleaned using compressed air to dislodge any accumulated dust. -
