    摘要: A method for electro-optic sampling measurement of electrical signals in integrated circuits, capable of improving the reproducibility of the measurements and calibrating the voltage accurately. The changes of beam intensity of a laser beam reflected from an electro-optic probe is measured by using a low frequency signal of a known voltage level to determine a relationship between the changes of beam intensity and gaps between the electro-optic probe and the integrated circuit, then a proportionality of the change of beam intensity and an absolute voltage level for a desired gap is determined according to the determined relationship. Then, the change of beam of intensity at a desired measurement position with a desired gap is measured by using a high frequency signal and the absolute voltage level of the high frequency signal is determined according to the measured change of beam intensity and the determined proportionality. The electro-optic probe is positioned by first bringing the electro-optic probe into a contact with the integrated circuit to detect a contact position, and then moving the electro-optic probe away from the integrated circuit to provide a desired gap with respect to the detected contact position regarded as a reference point.

    摘要: A signal electrode (11A) and a ground electrode (11B) are disposed respectively on surfaces of a case (10). In this way, the signal electrode (11A) and the ground electrode (11B) do not come into contact with any electric component, such as a transmission circuit (21), disposed inside the case (10), and thus a reduction in an electric field (Ec) induced in an electric-field transmission medium can be prevented. In addition, a certain distance between the signal electrode (11A) and the ground electrode (11B) is kept, and thus a reduction in the electric field (Ec) induced in the electric-field transmission medium can be prevented. Furthermore, the contactability between the signal electrode (11A) and the electric-field transmission medium is improved, and thus the electric field (Ec) induced in the electric-field transmission medium can be increased.

    摘要: An electro-optic sampling oscilloscope (or EOS oscilloscope) uses an electro-optic probe containing an electro-optic crystal, which is placed under effect of an electric field caused by a measured signal. Laser pulses are supplied to the electro-optic crystal wherein they are subjected to polarization. Then, measurement data representative of a waveform of the measured signal are produced in response to polarization states of the laser pulses and are stored in a measurement data storage. A user can select specific measurement data by using a list of files of multiple measurement data which is displayed on a screen. Then, the EOS oscilloscope displays an outline waveform which is created based on a reduced number of sample points extracted from the selected measurement data. Comments and/or measurement conditions can be stored in the measurement data storage in relation to the measurement data, so that they are adequately displayed on the screen.

    摘要: In a light receiving circuit for use in electro-optic sampling oscilloscope which receives first and second optical, photodiodes 51 and 52 are connected in series between a positive bias power supply 50P and a negative bias power supply 50N. The photodiodes 51 and 52 receive optical signals whose polarization state correspond to the voltage of a signal to be measured and convert the thus-received optical signals into electric signals. An amplifier 53 amplifies an electric current appearing in a point of connection P between the photodiodes 51 and 52. A current monitor 54 detects the electric signal converted by the photodiode 51, and a current monitor 57 detects the electric signal converted by the photodiode 52. The electric signal detected by the current monitor 54 is subjected to analog-to-digital conversion by an analog-to-digital converter 55, and the electric signal detected by the current monitor 57 is subjected to analog-to-digital conversion by an analog-to-digital converter 58. A control section formed from a subtraction circuit 60 controls a ratio of polarization between the optical signals such that the difference between the value of the current detected by the current monitor 54 and the value of the current detected by the current monitor 57 becomes smaller.
