title: Optical sampling transient analyzer system.
abstract: A 1-GHz optoelectronic sampling transient analyzer system having 10(3) 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.
