Abstract :
This paper addresses a pulse-rate tunable, fully electrically controllable optoelectronic random pulse generator operating at 10 to 72 Gb/s in return-to-zero (RZ) mode and an on-wafer optical-to-electrical conversion stimulus probe head with 0.6-A/W responsivity, 2OO-mVpp saturation output, and a near 100-GHz bandwidth. Its application, in combination with electrooptic sampling (EOS), to characterizing an ultrawide band amplifier is also demonstrated
