Abstract

Single-shot picosecond optical pulse waveform measurement has been investigated by an electrooptic sampling technique. A spatial optical gate driven by an ultrafast photoconductive switch is employed as an optoelectronic sampler. Discrete sampled signals are coupled into an optical fiber array consisting of fibers of different lengths to control the time delay. The output of the optical fiber array is detected by a photodetector and their envelope is displayed on an oscilloscope with an expanded time scale. For measurement of an optical pulse of 100 ps duration, the temporal resolution of the system is estimated to be about 13 ps.
