摘要: Experimental demonstration of an ultrashort‐pulse generator and a novel sampling technique to measure its pulse shape is reported. The generator, which uses Josephson interferometers, designed be dc powered self‐resetting. Its pulses are measured 26 ps in duration at simulated maximum frequency 2.5 GHz. useful for measuring general fast waveforms with unprecented sensitivity resolution extendable subpicosecond time scale.
