Light signal measuring process, involves analyzing short pulse train, and applying inverse relation of deterministic relation of temporal wave form of each pulse to samples for measuring temporal waveform of light signal

摘要

The process involves generating a short pulse train (14) with high frequency. The temporal wave form of each pulse has a deterministic relation with the temporal wave form of any received light signal (13). The train is analyzed by a process of rapid ultra electro-optical sampling of periodic pulse. An inverse relation of the deterministic relation is applied to samples to measure temporal waveform of the signal. An independent claim is also included for a device for measuring any received light signal.
