（レーザー関連）Tektronix Adds Industry-First Technology Which Eliminates Pulse Tuning in New All-In-One 2601B-PULSE System

Poised for VCSEL and LIDAR advancement, new PulseMeter™ technology sources current pulses as short as 10μsec, minimizing joule heating effects, at 10A and 10V

BEAVERTON, Ore., April 21, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Tektronix, Inc. today announced the new 2601B-PULSE System SourceMeter® 10μs Pulser/SMU Instrument, integrating a high-speed current pulser with DC source and measurement functions in one instrument. The new system incorporates PulseMeter™ technology for sourcing current pulses as short as 10μsec at 10A and 10V without the need to manually tune the output to match device impedance up to 3μH. This is critical for minimizing device self-heating, which for optical devices, can result in erroneous measurements and the potential for damaging test equipment. The new 2601B-PULSE also includes all current and voltage source measure unit (SMU) ranges that are available in Keithley’s standard Model 2601B System SourceMeter® (40V, 3A DC, 10A Pulse). In addition, Tektronix is also releasing version 2.3 of Keithley’s Instrument Control Software “KickStart” to support the pulsing function of the 2601B-PULSE.

“The 2601B-PULSE System SourceMeter® affirms Tektronix’s commitment to the advancement of technology through leading test and measurement solutions,” says Chris Bohn, vice president and general manager at Keithley/Tektronix. “This new instrument will bring better testing capabilities for engineers, including those who rely on industry-first technology to take innovative strides in automotive applications, connected vehicles and autonomous driving.”
