Hi everybody.

This question is not directly about confocal microscopy but, and might be
better addressed on some electrical engineering forum. Bit i believe there
is someone who can guide me in the right direction.
I need to drive a Pockel cell driver with 10 V pulses, but available pulse
generator has max 5V output. I need pulses with submicrosecond rising time.
I have searched for level shifters chips with needed bandwidth and
impedance but all of what I found work up to 5.5 volts.
I wonder if someone can recommend some solution for the problem or give a
hint.
Thanks.
Petro.
