Programmable photonics promises faster, more energy-efficient computing than electronics by transmitting signals using light.

One of the most powerful features of digital oscilloscopes is its ability to perform calculations on measurements. By using this capability, we can use an oscilloscope to measure parameters such as ...

Most oscilloscopes are fitted with filters to help improve measurement by reducing overall noise in an acquisition to improve signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). Even the most basic oscilloscopes include an ...

An oscilloscope is a handy tool for measuring signals of all kinds, but it’s especially useful if you want to measure something with a periodic component. Modern oscilloscopes have all kinds of ...

Direct coupling is advantageous in many photodetector applications, such as viewing laser thresholds and modulation depth. I patented a very fast photodetector mount 1,2 in the early 1970s using these ...

The new McPherson 671MX amplifier is a high vacuum compatible, current-to-voltage converting amplifier developed specifically for use with vacuum ultraviolet Silicon photodiodes. With integral ...

Saelig Company, Inc. announces the availability of the CLIPPER CLP1500V15A1 - a new, high technology oscilloscope adapter that allows small voltages to be measured in the presence of very high ...

Using a bootstrapping scheme with a JFET can enhance a photodiode’s ac response, but adds unwanted dc voltage. Remedy that problem with a matched dual-JFET. 1. This circuit uses a JFET to bootstrap ...
