Abstract

Summary form only given. We have successfully demonstrated a system capable of performing real time measurements of 100 GHz low-energy optical waveforms. Provided that the key components can be integrated, this system shows the potential to be used for practical waveform measurements in the future. A retarding pulse replicator and an ultrafast sampling device were used in a terahertz optical asymmetric demultiplexer (TOAD).
