Extended precision in video bandwidth analog to digital converter using optical techniques
Abstract
Two interferometric electro-optic modulators formed from single mode waveguides in a single crystal substrate of pockels (linear) electro-optic material is used in conjunction with optical sampling techniques and conventional Analog-to-Digital technology to convert analog signals to a binary representation.
