Abstract
This paper describes the Fabry-Perot enhancement of external electro-o ptic sampling. Previous reports of Fabry-Perot enhancement have been e xclusively on continuous wave systems. Using a picosecond dye laser an d a standard electro-optic probe tip an increase is shown both in the sensitivity and the responsivity of the picosecond probing system. The results show that for a picosecond system considerable advantage can be gained by use of the Fabry-Perot effect.
