Direct Digital Synthesizer

Crystal Technology, Inc. offers a line of direct digital synthesizers targeted to laser applications that require precise frequency tuning and agile control.

Our synthesizers incorporate an embedded controller to manage bi-directional data between the computer and the acousto-optic device such as an acousto-optic tunable filter or deflector. Its operating system features a robust command set delivering state of the art functionality. Connecting through the RS232 or USB interface, the supplied LabVIEW control panel quickly gives the user the "feel" of the instrument. Queries, diagnostics and control are all at the user's finger tips.

Offerings include both single- and multi-channel direct digital synthesizers. The internal architecture allows flexibility with independent frequency / phase / amplitude control between all channels, thus enabling our synthesizers to be easily customized to match your specific requirements. For example, an acousto-optic deflector utilizing phased array beam steering technology can have broader bandwidths and flatter frequency responses by using the programmable phased delay per channel.
