Abstract:
Optical waveform observing apparatus including a sampling streak tube to which is applied an incident light beam having a waveform to be observed. An electron beam corresponding to the incident light beam is repetitively deflected in the streak tube, in response to a repetitive deflecting trigger signal, to sample the electron beam. The repetitive deflection of the electron beam is periodically stopped for a first time period. An integration circuit integrates data outputted by the streak tube. A subtraction circuit subtracts the integration of streak tube data outputted during the first time period from the integration of streak tube data outputted during a second time period when the repetitive beam deflection is not stopped, so that background noise and dark currents are not included in the subtraction result.
Abstract:
A first part of input light containing both background light and signal light is extracted by a sampling streak tube and converted to a first electric signal by a photodetector. A second part of the input light containing only background light is extracted by the same sampling streak tube by offsetting the sampling timing and converted to a second electric signal by the photodetector. A signal component corresponding to the signal light is extracted by taking the difference between the first and second electric signals. In one embodiment, the sampling timing is offset by applying a chopping voltage to chopping electrodes provided in the sampling streak tube.
Abstract:
Laser sources produce two light beams which are different in frequency and at least one of which is a pulse beam. The two light beams are subjected to sum frequency mixing in a non-linear optical element and a resultant sum frequency beam is applied to a specimen as an exciting pulse beam. A pulse beam separated from the sum frequency beam and synchronized therewith is detected by a photodetector. A measuring means measures a waveform of fluorescence light emitted from the specimen using an output of the photodetector as a measurement starting reference signal. According to one embodiment, the device operates in a single photon counting mode and the measuring means counts repeatedly an elapsed time from the detection of the measurement start reference signal to the detection of the fluorescence light for every divided section of the elapsed time.
