Abstract :
Based on the indirect electro-optic sampling technique, we have designed and tested an optoelectronic frequency meter by using a picosecond gain-switched laser diode. It is the first step towards the construction of a sampler frequency meter for the nondestructive characterization of ultrafast electronic signals
