Abstract
An autocorrelation method was proposed and applied to measure the temporal decay of ultrafast voltage pulses in the superconducting state. Using a 40 ps laser, voltage pulses with fast components <40 ps were obtained in a YBCO thin film which was biased within the superconducting state.Keywords
