Picosecond optical sampling technique for measuring the speed of fast electro‐optic switch/modulators

We propose and demonstrate a new technique for measuring the pulse response of fast electro‐optic switch/modulators. Using synchronized trains of electrical drive pulses and picosecond optical sampling pulses, switching times as short as ∼50 psec can be measured without requiring a fast photodiode.
