Abstract

The all optical window equivalent-time sampling method using SMIOS and a numerical algorithm used for waveform recovery are present. A system model based on SOA dynamic model was founded to analyze sampling process. The pulse broadening in low bandwidth PIN and its response are discussed too. The relationships between sampling windows and sensitivity due to SOA bias current, aptitude of control pulse and input measured signal wavelength are analyzed theoretically. The results have shown that the SMIOS sampler system combined with numerical algorithm can measure short pulses with low error.
