Abstract
The generation transmission, and detection of extremely rapid electromagnetic pulses have been achieved using fast photoconducting materials as time‐varying Hertzian dipoles. This approach, which has a measured time response of 1.6 ps, overcomes many of the limitations imposed by transmission line structures, and due to its jitter‐free behavior and open geometry is ideally suited for transient electromagnetic measurements of materials.Keywords
