Abstract :
A method for timing point detection in a laser pulse is presented. A pulse shaping circuit is placed at the input of the receiver to achieve a large dynamic range without gain control and timing errors caused by signal clipping. A parallel resonant circuit is proposed as the shaping circuit.
