Abstract
Analog front-end circuits and methods for configuring analog front-end circuits to improve accuracy of optical pulse energy digitizers are disclosed. More specifically, an analog front-end circuit in accordance with the inventive concepts disclosed herein may be configured to reduce a pulse repetition rate as early in the front-end circuit as possible. It is contemplated that reducing the repetition rate in this manner provides more process time that may be allocated for data acquisition, hold, dump, or time guard bands, all of which may help to improve the measurement accuracy of the analog front-end circuit.
