Abstract

We report on the recent advances of an electrooptic sampling technique for the characterization of electrical transients that has now achieved an unprecedented temporal resolution of less than 1 ps. Voltage sensitivity is on the order of 50 μV. A lithium tantalate traveling wave Pockels cell is employed in conjunction with a high repetition rate subpicosecond laser system.
