Abstract

A 1-GHz optoelectronic sampling transient analyzer system having 10³ dynamic range has been developed and tested for diagnosing the time–amplitude characteristic of a fast, high voltage, single transient electrical pulse. Sampling rate can be tailored to individual signal analysis requirements. Primary elements are a 350-psec (FWHM) laser, a traveling-wave Kerr cell, a semiconductor detector array with charge collection circuitry, and an analog–to-digital converter with digital data memory.
