Introduction
    The C-995 Optical Chopper is a microprocessor-based control system that utilizes direct-digital-synthesis to deliver precise optical chopping rates from 4 Hz to 5000 Hz. The C995 Optical Chopper is Equipped with a large five-digit LED readout, the C-995 controller enables digital entry of the desired chopping rates from the front panel. Additionally, this Chopper is equipped with a bi-directional RS-232 port that permits the user to set the desired chopping rate to a resolution of .001 Hz and to read the status of the instrument. 

    The C-995 Chopper is designed with a phase-locked-loop control system, allows the chopping rate to also be synchronized to a user-supplied external clock ranging from 4 Hz to 5 KHz. The controller is then used to measure and display the frequency of the external clock. 

    The C-995 optical chopping head is attached to the controller by means of a 10 foot coiled cord. The precision etched blade is fully enclosed for protection from inadvertent damage. (An optional exposed  or open head version is also available.)

    There are two apertureson the chopper head and two sections (30 slots and 3 slots) on the blade for the high and 
low frequency ranges, respectively. The aperture diameter is 15 mm with a slot width of 4.5 mm for the 30 slot section and 30 mm for 3 slot section. The small 4.75 inch square outline and two inch maximum depth of the chopper head permits easy integration into compact optical setups. Dual #8-32 mounting holes permit the apertures to be placed at a height as low as 0.75 inches above an optical bench, or with the included 1/2 inch rod and stand, as high as 13 inches above the mounting surface. 

   The ease of use and convenience of this instrument are matched only by the high performance to price ratio that is typical of products from Terahertz Technologies Inc. The C-995 is backed by our standard two year warranty and our guarantee of customer satisfaction.
