Product Overview
When combined with a high voltage power supply and gate module, the gate controller provides all functionality required to easily gate any of Photek’s Image Intensifiers and Image Photon Detectors.
No additional electronics are required. The IGC3 Gate Controller can be pre-configured by specialists at Photek to provide turn-key operation of your Image Intensifier based on the unique requirements of your application. The IGC3 trigger may be either internally generated or controlled by an external trigger and operates up to 1MHz however this will be limited by the Gate Module utilised.
Pulse widths are selectable from 3 ns to 40 ms, and can be set for either Gated ON or Gated OFF modes. Set-up is easy, with all functions available from either the front-panel user interface or via an integral RS232 computer interface. Contact Photek technical support for help in configuring a customized solution.
