  Evolution Webinar Series: High Precision Timing 

Addressing the Challenges of Complex Timing Systems


Sorry you missed us

Welcome to the next installment of the Evolution Webinar Series hosted by Berkeley Nucleonics. This time we are joined by industry expert Dr. Dominique Monnier-Bourdin from Greenfield Technology as we explore the world of High Precision Timing. 

This webinar will guide users through the essential elements of high precision timing and will conclude with an example of a complex, large area timing system.  

In this webinar, we will discuss:

  • The reasoning and role that high performance specifications play in complex, mission-critical, timing applications 


  • How technology developed for the large-scale, high-power projects of National Labs can be applied to smaller systems  
  • Expanding the capabilities of existing projects to overcome the hazards posed by distance, electrical noise, and Father Time


  • Synchronization and triggering techniques that are used in world-class laser platforms. 

Dr. Dominique Monnier-Bourdin 

Thought Leader and Industry Expert

Dr. Dominique Monnier-Bourdin graduated from Enseeiht (Toulouse), France and received his Ph.D from University of Paris. He is a veteran of the timing industry, who has been working on optical and electronic systems, including fast transient digitizer, streak camera, ultrafast diagnostics, and timing system for over 30 years.
