  • Abstract
    A nonlinear preamplifier system to improve the performance of a zero-crossover optical trigger circuit is presented. The network is based on a low-noise operational amplifier with a Zener diode feedback. It is proposed to exploit the nonlinear characteristic of this network to reduce timing measurement uncertainty. Accordingly the circuit has been developed and tested in operation.
