Transient analysis system using a photonic sampler device

摘要

The photonic sampler device increases the dynamics of analysis of the transients by increasing the number of samples, and comprises a recording tube formed so as to receive a single optical channel at the input. Thus, the photocathode is of reduced size. In addition, the fluorescent screen is coupled to a single detector strip which has a high number of cells and whose longitudinal axis corresponds to the scanning direction. The magnification of the tube is determined so as to be adapted to the dimensions of the detector cells. The light amplification obtained may easily reach 250 and the number of samples may for example be 1728.
