  • Abstract
    A new design for analogue/digital convertors (ADCs) which make use of electro-optic modulators and optical sampling in conjunction with conventional electronic ADCs is proposed. By taking advantage of the periodic response characteristic of the optical modulators, a significant increase in precision over purely electronic conversion is expected.
