Abstract

Abstract

In order to fulfill the requirement that optical sampling pulse time jitter is less than 100 femtosecond in the high precision WDM/OTDM optical sampling system, a system using the autocorrelator to measure the time delay is developed. By a fiber coupler connecting a reference optical path to copy the optical pulse, the initialized optical pulse is correlated with the copied pulse to get the time delay between measured optical path and the reference optical path, and then to get the relatively time delay between the measured optical paths. The experiment result indicates that the precision of the autocorrelation method is better than 50 femtosecond, which can satisfy the research requirements of the WDM/OTDM system.
