MOGLabs offers a variety of versatile RF sources for laboratory applications. With robust input/output protection, they are well suited to drive acousto-optic modulators for common optical experimental tasks such as laser frequency shifting, intensity stabilisation and pulse generation.
- XRF: Flagship RF source with large frequency range, high-bandwidth modulation options, flexible I/O, and fast table mode under FPGA control. Intended for shaped-pulse generation, IQ-modulation, and automated experiment execution.
- QRF: Computer-controlled RF source provides a subset of XRF features at low cost per channel. Intended for single tone generation, drift compensation, intensity stabilisation and simple table execution.
The table below compares the primary features. Please consult individual product specifications for more details.
Costs per channel is will be adjusted when manufacturing comments (expected Q1/2024 for the XRF, Q4/2024 for the QRF).
