INTEGRATED - CIRCUIT DISCRIMINATOR WITH lo - NSEC PULSE PAIR
A high-speed direct-coupled discriminator utilizing emittercoupled integrated circuits is described. The threshold is continuously adjustable between -150 mV and -1.15 V, the pulse pair resolution is 10 nsec, and the maximum continuous repetition rate is 92 MHz. Two modes of operation, clipped and dc , are provided; output widths in the clipped mode are 5 nsec, 10 nsec, or 15 nsec. The use of i...
متن کاملColliding Pulse Phase Detector for Picosecond Resolution Timing Measurement
single tap actually consists or four diodes distributed at 2 pS effective delay time along the line and tied together at the tap output. Fig. 2 shows the evolutio.n or the coincidence or two input pulses. The peak detector taps are biased such that neither the clock nor the trigger signal alone is large enough in amplitude to cause forward bias or the peak detector taps. This is the case at tim...
متن کاملIntegrated Optical Waveguide Device for Picosecond Pulse Compression
We report on the fabrication and characterization of a new device, named IRIS. It is designed to increase the coherent optical bandwidth of a picosecond pulse train for subsequent pulse compression. The IRIS device consists of a concatenated array of semiconductor optical amplifiers and saturable absorbers. It is realized in the InP/InGaAsP material system for the 1550 nm range. Measurements on...
متن کاملDetection of orbital angular momentum using a photonic integrated circuit
Orbital angular momentum (OAM) state of photons offer an attractive additional degree of freedom that has found a variety of applications. Measurement of OAM state, which is a critical task of these applications, demands photonic integrated devices for improved fidelity, miniaturization, and reconfiguration. Here we report the design of a silicon-integrated OAM receiver that is capable of detec...
متن کاملA timing discriminator for space flight applications
A timing discriminator design for space flight delay line image systems is presented. This discriminator processes delay line signal pulses having a few ns width and recovers event timing centroids with an accuracy better than 100 ps full width at half maximum. For space flight use, it is important to minimize parts count and power consumption. Because it is difficult or impossible to adjust eq...
