Optoelectronic sampler: modeling and characterization

摘要

Abstract: In this paper, an optoelectronic sampler is described. The device is made with microstrip propagation lines and ultra- rapid photoconductive switches which are integrated in the same substrate. The sampler is used to measure the output electrical signal provided by an ultra-fast detector. The detector electrical pulse lasts from 20 ps to 100 ps and is sampled every 4 ps. The total record length is 400 ps. !5
