Abstract

We present an uncertainty analysis of measurements performed with NIST's electrooptic sampling system. The system measures the voltage waveform injected by a photodetector on a coplanar waveguide fabricated on an electrooptic LiTaO3 wafer. The frequency response of the photodetector is determined from the voltage measured launched into the coplanar waveguide with a microwave wafer probe. A series of mismatch corrections account for the effects of the probe and coplanar waveguide.
