Photonic Time Stretch Enhanced Recording Scope

TL;DR

This paper introduces a novel mode for the Time Stretched A/D converter that enables capturing non-periodic, clustered noise events more effectively than traditional sampling scopes.

Contribution

It presents a new operational mode for photonic time stretch technology, enhancing the ability to record non-periodic signals.

Findings

Successfully captures non-periodic, clustered noise events

Outperforms traditional sampling scopes in specific applications

Demonstrates improved temporal resolution

Abstract

We demonstrate a new mode of operation for the Time Stretched A/D converter. The technique is superior to the sampling scope in that it permits the capture of non periodic events such as clustered noise.
