Introducing the PSO-100

Optical Sampling Oscilloscope

Series

Based on a unique optical sampling approach, the PSO-100 Optical
Sampling Oscilloscope Series eliminates almost all the limitations typically
found in electrical sampling oscilloscopes. This is done when narrow
sampling pulses open a sampling gate that generates a time-stretched
version of the measured signal. The optical samples are then converted to
electrical signals, which can be easily detected by low-speed electronics
and digitally processed.

The figures below show the front and rear panels for both models.
