Abstract
We introduce a novel optoelectronic technique for the characterization of the full step response of ultrafast sampling oscilloscopes. The uncertainty of the step response measurement is derived from a Monte-Carlo analysis. The enhanced experimental and theoretical method allows us to specify the rise-time of the step response with a considerably reduced uncertainty as compared to our previous calibration technique.
