Abstract
Experimental demonstration of an ultrashort‐pulse generator and a novel sampling technique to measure its pulse shape is reported. The pulse generator, which uses Josephson interferometers, is designed to be dc powered and self‐resetting. Its pulses are measured to be 26 ps in duration at a simulated maximum frequency of 2.5 GHz. The sampling technique is useful for measuring general fast waveforms with unprecented sensitivity and resolution extendable to subpicosecond time scale.Keywords
