We present experimental results on magnification dependent power penalty studied with a novel resonator-based time-stretch analog-to-digital converter. Exploiting the potential of variable magnification inherent to the resonator-based concept the dispersion penalty dependency on dispersion length and magnification factor is measured and compared to numerical calculations.

We present experimental results on magnification dependent power penalty studied with a new resonator-based time-stretch analog-to-digital converter (TSADC). Exploiting the potential of variable magnification inherent to the resonator-based concept the dispersion penalty dependency on dispersion length and magnification factor is measured and compared to numerical calculations

We present a resonator-based approach to time-stretch electrical signals with variable temporal magnification up to M=100 and a time-aperture up to 800 ps. Experimental results agree well with numerical calculations
