Abstract

A sampling setup for a cryogenic environment has been developed using fiber-illuminated photoconductive switches fabricated from a material composed of equidistant layers of self-assembled ErAs nanoislands in a GaAs matrix. The setup includes dispersion compensation of the fibers and exhibits a time resolution better than 2.2 ps, which is insensitive to temperature and applied magnetic field and limited only by the properties of the coplanar waveguide circuitry. In cryogenic photocurrent autocorrelation measurements on single switches, a resolution exceeding 850 fs could be achieved.
