This thesis is focused on the digitalization of radio-frequency signal using optical clock, allowing a low time jitter compared to electronic clocks. A low jitter is a key factor for high performance sampling, as the clock commands the “gate” opening which extracts the signal samples at regular intervals. This thesis describes two original approaches: all-optical sampling and electro-optics one.An electro-optic gate is based on radio-frequency transmission strip-line carrying the electric signal. A discontinuity in this strip-line occurs which become conductive, thanks to the optical command provided by the clock, due to a photo-conductive material. Semiconductor alloys from the III-V groups are widely used thanks to the high mobility of th...
