Greenfield Technology, which designs and produces picosecond delay generator and timing system for about 20 years, has been hired by CEA to develop new products to meet the LMJ requirements. About 2000 triggers are about to be set to control and synchronize all of the 176 laser beams on the target with a precision better than 40 ps RMS. Among these triggers, Greenfield Technology’s GFT10¹² is a 4-channels delay generator challenging ultra-high performances: an ultra-low jitter between 2 slaves below 4 ps RMS and a peak-to-peak wander over 1 week lower than 6 ps due to a thermal control of the most sensitive part (the thermal drift is below 1 ps/°C) and specific developments for clock management and restitution. On going investigation should bring the jitter close to 2 ps RMS between 2 slaves.
