Fig. 4: Impact of relative intensity noise (RIN) suppression on photocurrent pulse timing jitter.
From: Attosecond electronic timing with rising edges of photocurrent pulses
a RIN suppression result: (i) without and (ii) with RIN suppression. (iii) Equivalent RIN noise floor of the voltage reference used for RIN suppression. (iv) Dark noise floor of the detection system. b Measured timing jitter PSDs of the 22-GHz MUTC photodiode with RIN suppression: (i) measured rising-edge jitter PSD, (ii) measured falling-edge jitter PSD, (iii) projected ATC-originated rising-edge jitter contribution, (iv) projected ATC-originated falling-edge contribution, (v) EOS-TD measurement noise floor and (vi) predicted photodiode flicker noise9,18,19. The bottom curves indicate the r.m.s. integrated rising-edge and falling-edge timing jitters [1 Hz–1 MHz].
