Abstract
A new method - with picosecond resolution - allowing the recording of the instantaneous time phase fluctuations of a crystal controlled osci llator is presented. The oscillator under test drives the acoustooptic modelocker of a CW Nd:YAG laser associated with a synchronously pumpe d dye laser. By means of a streak camera illuminated by the ps dye las er pulses and synchronized by the oscillator signal the statistics of its zero crossings is analyzed.
