Our high-frequency trapping field generators create large sinusoidal voltages with an unprecedented amplitude stability down to 12 ppm per minute.

Typically, such a state-of-the-art specification would only be achieved through complex in-house development by well-equipped research facilities. RF drives have evolved and proven up to the task in many demanding research projects with top research institutes worldwide.

Paul quadropole ion traps (e.g. Yb+, Ca+, Be+) and radio frequency quadrupoles (RFQ) benefit from both, the outstanding performance and the ease of use of our solution. Typical applications comprise general ion trapping experiments, quantum computing, and mass filters. For some models, a fast-turn-off option for swift ion ejection is available (’kill-switch’).

Unlike with common power RF generators, here, the outputs are capable to drive purely capacitive loads, like electrodes of ion traps or quadrupole structures.

The base model HF-DR is internally equipped with a resonator to achieve higher voltage amplitudes at a narrower frequency band. See variant model HF-DRB for a non-resonant broadband version.
