ORR24 Instruction Manual
Rise Time and HF Aberrations
1. Connect the output of the optical impulse generator to the ORR24 optical
input through the optical attenuator.
2. Connect the trigger output of the optical impulse generator to the trigger
input of the digital sampling oscilloscope with a 50
W, 5X electrical
attenuator in series with the trigger input.
3. Connect the ORR24 output to the digital sampling oscilloscope input using a
relatively short 50
W cable (i.e. < 1 meter).
4. Set the optical source to the 1 MHz rate and low energy mode. Adjust the
optical attenuator so that the height of the impulse is about 200 mV
p-p
.
5. Set the digital sampling scope to 10 mV/div vertical scale, 100 ps/div
horizontal scale, 1024-point record length, and insure the entire impulse
waveform is within the display region. Shift the horizontal record so that the
start of the impulse is within the first two divisions of the horizontal scale on
the display.
6. Average the waveform a minimum of 256 times, and store the averaged
waveform.
7. Recall the stored waveform, and measure the mean signal level before the
start of the impulse (i.e. measure the average vertical offset in the record
length preceding the impulse; if the impulse generator is temporarily
disabled, then the average DC level of the entire record length can be used
instead).
8. Program the digital sampling oscilloscope to display the integral of the
stored waveform minus the mean signal level before the impulse.
9. Measure the rise time of the integrated impulse response and insure that it is
less than or equal to 205 ps. Record the rise time on the test record.
10. Turn on the horizontal bar cursors and set them at the 0 and 100% levels of
the waveform, using the level 500 ps after the 50% point of the step as 100%
level. Record the difference between the two levels.
11. Now set the cursors on the minimum and maximum overshoot and under-
shoot points. Record the difference of the two levels. Divide the difference
voltage due to the aberrations by the step size and ensure that the result is
less or equal to 5%. Record the actual percentage on the test record.
