Time to Amplitude Converters and Calibrator
-
A Time-to-Amplitude Converter (TAC) can achieve exceptional precision by using an analog technique to convert small time intervals to pulse amplitudes. When a timing application demands picosecond precision, a time-to-amplitude converter is a prime candidate. A time-to-amplitude converter is a productive solution for measurements less than 10 μs when time resolutions from 10 ps to 50 ns are required.

Streak Cameras
-
Streak camera technology was developed for measuring ultra-fast optical phenomena. OptoScope streak cameras provide temporal resolution down to the Picosecond regime. Additionally, OptoScope systems have high sensitivity allowing single photon detection. Streak cameras are the only instruments that can capture the behavior over time of multiple optical signals. Combined with a spectrometer this allows their application in the field of time resolved spectroscopy.

Autocorrelators
-
Opticala Autocorrelators are devices for measuring the intensity or field autocorrelation function of light, mostly used for determining the pulse width of picosecond or femtosecond pulses, to which an electronic apparatus such as oscillascope would be too slow. The basic principle of operation of an autocorrelator for a pulse width measurement is to check the correlation of the temporal pulse trace with itself.
