title = "LiBbO3:Ti Directional-Coupler Modulators For High-Bandwidth, Single-Shot Instrumentation Systems Operating At 800 Nm",
abstract = "We update our work on optical directional-coupler modulators (ODCMs) for single-shot, analog instrumentation systems operating at ~ 800 nm. We can now fabricate directional-coupler devices that have one input and two output pigtails, with insertion losses of 8.9 dB on average. Data for the ODCMs indicate an impulse response of less than 40 ps. We have implemented these devices in an ultrafast, x-ray measurement system. We discuss our data from this implementation and their implications for continued ODCM development.",

note = "Funding Information: We are grateful for the laboratory assistance provided by Billy Kidd and Fred Schumacher. The assistance of Claude Dittmore with the IR photography is greatly appreciated. Mike Pocha and Paul Springer provided the PCD device and operational advice. The usual outgoing assistance of Jim Swain and Paul Salone at the Phoenix laser made these measurements a success, and Mark Eck-art's cooperation was appreciated. Ari Ziegler's advice on the suppression of laser-generated microwave noise in the Phoenix chamber was greatly appreciated. Support and encouragement from Bill Slivinsky, Wayne Shotts, and John Woodworth are gratefully acknowledged. Work was performed under the auspices of the U.S. Dept. of Energy by LLNL under Contract W-7405-Eng.-48.",
