On the Use of Non-fourier Eigensignals for Measuring Short Optical Pulses by Photomultiplier Tubes
In this paper we show that the envelopes of short optical pulses detected by conversion of photomultiplier tubes-secondary electrons into single-frequency decayed oscillations may be presented by a set of orthogonal non-Fourier eigensignals.

Zusammenfassung: | In this paper we show that the envelopes of short optical pulses detected by conversion of photomultiplier tubes-secondary electrons into single-frequency decayed oscillations may be presented by a set of orthogonal non-Fourier eigensignals. The enhanced temporal resolution estimated is of the order of (10-1) ps. A calculation of an optical receiver based on the commercial multianode microchannel plate photomultiplier-photomultiplier tubes is given. The method may be successfully applied in such areas as picosecond lidars, fibre optics, time-resolved spectroscopy etc. |
