This section describes our range of driver
amplifiers, pulse pattern generators and other products.
Driver Amplifiers
LA Techniques designs and manufactures a range of broad band
amplifiers aimed mainly but not exclusively for use as drivers for high
speed optical modulators. Intended
data rates extend to more than 12 Gb/s.
The
amplifiers employ a range of technologies including GaAs MMICs (microwave
monolithic integrated circuits) and discrete feedback
techniques.
The table below shows our current range of models either in
production or at the engineering sample stage. Detailed data sheets are available by clicking the icon on this

Pulse Pattern Generators
LA's pulse pattern generators provide an
economical solution for high speed test applications. Each unit can be
configured with two user selectable internal clocks in addition to
operation with an external clock.
