Preliminary Investigation of an Integrated Optic Sampler for HF Signals

Abstract

A compact, rugged and inexpensive optical sampling system has been constructed. The aperture time of the sampler is estimated to be 75 ps, and sampling rates of 100 MHz and 250 MHz have been demonstrated. The performance of the demonstrator can be enhanced to gigahertz sampling rates without a substantial increase in cost.
