High Speed Sampling Oscilloscope

The Compound Semiconductor Applications Catapult aims to build capability in testing and characterising high speed optical components, modules and systems. The procurement of a high-speed sampling oscilloscope has been identified as a key piece of equipment to develop capability in testing and characterising high speed optical devices, such as high-speed optical communication systems, optical sensors using pulsed beams and optical components used for spectroscopy. The equipment is required to provide an electrical interface for visualising and sampling high-speed signals either fed into or measured from an electrical/optical device. The addition of a high-speed optical detector allows th…
