The PLD-1C driver phase locks any resonant chopper (type CH) to an external clock signal, to provide an ultra stable modulating optical beam motion [sub] system. The system can be used as a "stand alone" unit, in the laboratory, or can be incorporated into a larger instrument/system. The chopper is ONE FIXED FREQUENCY, picked from the range of 5 Hz to 20 kHz. The chopper is a small size, light weigh, low cost and long life device. It requires low power drive electronics and does not radiate electromagnetic interference (EMI). It has high frequency stability and high amplitude stability. The chopper is IR, VIS and UV and high vacuum capable. Reference signal and position output available.

The phase relationship to the clock is factory set to customer's requirements (0° to 360°), and is front panel adjustable in a range of ±45° minimum. The driver can be a fully integrated driver with front panels controls and internal power supplies or a printed circuit board level driver. The dimensions of the cased driver are: 12" × 10" × 3.8". The PLD-1C-PC driver is a printed circuit board level driver which requires an external ±15V DC power supply.
