Abstract
The advent of ultrashort optical pulses used in conjunction with the electrooptic effect has made possible the temporal analysis of electrical phenomena on the picosecond and femtosecond time scale.1 This electrooptic technique is based on the colliding pulse mode-locked (CPM) laser which routinely produces pulses < 100-fs FWHM. Electrical signals with rise times as fast as a few hundred femtoseconds have been measured with the technique.2
