how can one generate a single pulse with tektronix 284 pulse generator?

is there any other alternative for generating single pulse in nanosecond?

thanks
 

TEK 284 isn't designed to generate single pulses. You would need to modify the instrument considerably to generate single pulses. I guess you won't do this, respecting the antique instrument.

If you just ask for nanosecond pulses, you won't necessariíly need a picosecond risetime tunneld diode pulser. There's a lot of pulse generators that can generate single ns pulses. You should tell your specification.
 
thanks for your answer i appreciate that.

i need a source to generate a 25 - 35ns pulse to drive a laser diode.

true it doesnt have to have that picosecond rise time.
 

General purpose laboratory pulse generators will source 5 to 10 V with 50 ohm impedance, resulting in up to 200 mA output current. They mostly have a single pulse option. I'm e.g. using an old HP 8082A for similar purposes. It would be suited to drive a pulse laser diode, if the current is sufficient. Pulse laser diodes have often threshold currents above 1 A, so a special driver circuit is needed.
 
thanks so much you saved me a big day
