Popis: Electro-optic sampling (EOS) is a technique which has been developed for measuring transient electrical fields with subpicosecond resolution. It takes advantage of the inherent speed of the linear electro-optic effect (Pockels effect) to convert a fast electrical transient into a fast optical transient. The optical transient is then probed using the conventional pump/probe approach in conjunction with a short-pulse dye laser. Two applications of this technique will be discussed which are relevant to the study of transport physics on small time and dimension scales.
