RF Connector manufacturers

Amphenol Good web site, good range, make a copy of QMA connectors

Radiall Connectors, Range of connectors is very good and includes the new QMA and QN connectors. The current web site is much better than earlier ones.

Kings Electronics RF connectors Good connector range. Dodgy web site on MAC browsers (Safari and Firefox), no full range distributror in UK that I can see.

Pasternack connectors   Good especially for fast delivery etc. Web site speed much better recently.
UK Agent is Spectech

Suhner  The only known manufacturer of 25Ω SMA connectors, ask for part numbers 11 SMA-25-2-1/111 and 21 SMA-25-2-1/111, they are not on their web site. Also have QMA and QN connectors

Telegärtner Excellent web site, fast and easy to use. Not so easy to buy their wares since Electrospeed bit the dust.

Test Gear

Weinschel Corporation Attenuators and Coaxial components

Image Tube manufacturers

Photek UK based Image tube manufacturer, as most of their tubes are ceramic they can't do S1 cathodes on them. Good for less common tubes.

Delft Electronic Products (DEP) Bought by Photonis

Proxitronic improved web site.

Photonis can make S1 streak tubes

North American Imaging, Inc. Seems to have dissappeared
(supplier of large format reducing image intensifiers and replacement tubes)

Electronics

E2V, formerly EEV and Marconi Applied Technologies,
Vacuum tubes (including thyratrons) and CCD cameras etc.

Start Spellman High voltage power supplies

Glassman Europe Ltd. High voltage power supplies

PPM Power Solutions
A UK based company acting as agents for Barth Electronics, Behlke, Kanthal Globar, Lambda EMI (incorporating a.l.e. systems), Matsusada, North Star Research Corporation, NWL, HITEC and Stangenes Industries.
Mainly for pulsed power applications and related fields.
Web site does not behave properly under IE5.1 Mac OS9 or IE5.2 Mac OSX, OK under Safari and Windows 98 and IE5.5.

Barth Electronics The only manufacturer of attenuators that can withstand our fast high voltage pulses. See their catalogue by clicking HERE (PDF file)

Almost All Digital Useful links and bits and bobs

JSC PLASMA (Russian manufacturer of spark gaps, thyratrons and other exotic discharge switches and devices)

Stanford Research Systems (make a very useful delay generator DG535, if you can take 50ps jitter, sometimes a bit worse).

Highland Technology Timing systems etc. (make an excellent delay generator P400, better than the Stanford, better functionality and jitter; don't forget to order the optional high voltage outputs).

Electro-Optic Material Manufacturers

Cristal Laser S.A.
G & H - was Cleveland Crystals, Inc
United Crystals Company
Raicol, BBO and RTP material.

Pockels cell manufacturers

G & H - was Cleveland Crystals, Inc Make BBO cells
Leysop General purpose cells plus very fast 6 mm aperture UPC device, deflectors etc. Also make RTP, BBO cells
Inrad Never used them but are well known
Gsanger, distributed by Linos Photonics Ltd. make a nice small BBO cell CPC range but it is pricy. Also RTP cells.
United Crystals Company General Purpose pockels cells KD*P

Major Labs

Useful data

Periodic Table (LANL)
CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics
Knovel Engineering and Scientific on line sources
Goodfellow Metal foils etc.

Pulse generator manufacturers

Directed Energy fairly fast, high voltage
Bournlea High voltage fairly fast including thyratron based units.
                Non linear pulse sharpeners.
Avtech Very fast, medium to low voltage
Behlke FET modules, medium fast to high voltage, recently upgraded web site
Alphalas  fairly fast fairly high voltage, compact switch modules
Picosecond Pulse Labs  very fast, low voltage

Device Supplier

IXYS Corporation Breakover Diodes, much more expensive than the old MEDL ones but at least you can buy them.

More to come
