Time to Amplitude Converters and Calibrator
A Time-to-Amplitude Converter (TAC) can achieve exceptional precision by using an analog technique to convert small time intervals to pulse amplitudes. When a timing application demands picosecond precision, a time-to-amplitude converter is a prime candidate. A time-to-amplitude converter is a productive solution for measurements less than 10 μs when time resolutions from 10 ps to 50 ns are required.

Autocorrelators
Opticala Autocorrelators are devices for measuring the intensity or field autocorrelation function of light, mostly used for determining the pulse width of picosecond or femtosecond pulses, to which an electronic apparatus such as oscillascope would be too slow. The basic principle of operation of an autocorrelator for a pulse width measurement is to check the correlation of the temporal pulse trace with itself.
