Abstract
It is demonstrated that photoelectrons distributed in initial velocity can be extracted from electrically broad‐band configurations with extremely high time resolutions. Properties and values of parameters characterizing real materials and laboratory‐generated electrical sampling signals are used throughout the analysis. These results provide the basis for the design of practical high‐speed sampling photodetectors that can extend the resolution of incoherent low‐level optical signals to a few picoseconds.Keywords
