Summary When the ion source of a high-voltage particle accelerator is modulated with pulses, e.g. for neutron time-of-flight studies, it is often necessary that synchronization should be maintained between these pulses and some electronic time-analyzing equipment. If the ion source is in a high-voltage electrode, some communication link to it must be provided. Two such links are described, one using a radio frequency system at 450 Mc/s, the other using a pulsed beam of light. Both systems provide control over pulse width as well as pulse spacing. The r.f. system will transmit pulses down to 1 microsecond and is suitable for open accelerators. The optical system will transmit pulses down to 4 microseconds and may be used with either open or pressurized accelerators.
