Very precise timing below the 100ps-mark is gaining importance in modern detector designs. Many technology demonstrators achieving this goal were based on the Cherenkov effect exploiting its prompt light emission. One common requirement is the necessity to compensate inherent walk effects to reach the sub-100ps timing precison.
In traditional approaches either the amplitude is measured in...
