ERGO™ Pulse Generating Laser (PGL)
 
 
The ERGO™ pulse generating laser (PGL) is an ideal source for a broad range of system development applications.
 

The ERGO combines fundamental passive mode-locking of an erbium-glass oscillator using a semiconductor saturable absorber device and active synchronization of the pulses using a phase-lock-loop.
