The delay generated by the pump laser electronics of the Spectra Physics Evolution system between an external trigger it receives and the trigger it sends to the Pockels cell drivers of the Ti:S amplifier jitters enough to produce discrepancies between the oscillator pulses selected by the Pockels cell drivers of the two systems. Therefore, also the Pockels cell drivers have to be triggered externally and not as in the unmodified system by the Nd:YLF pump laser via the internal control-electronics.
