Techniques for Characterizing a Nonlinearity of a Time-to-Digital Converter in an Optical Measurement System

An illustrative optical measurement system includes a signal generator configured to generate a signal and a processing unit configured to direct the signal generator to apply the signal to a TDC included in the optical measurement system and generate, based on timestamp symbols recorded by the TDC...

Zusammenfassung:An illustrative optical measurement system includes a signal generator configured to generate a signal and a processing unit configured to direct the signal generator to apply the signal to a TDC included in the optical measurement system and generate, based on timestamp symbols recorded by the TDC in response to the signal, characterization data representative of a nonlinearity of the TDC.
