A time-to-height conversion system was developed which is useful for measuring time intervals from 10 psec to 200 mu sec. When driven by a mercury- relay pulse generator through appropriate fixed delays, the resolution of the system, FWHM, is 6 psec, the apparent time shift with temperature is less than 2 psec/ deg C, and the integral linearity is within plus or minus 1%. The apparent time distribution through a type 58 AVP photomultiplier tube driven by a mercury-relay pulser was less than 0.3 nsec at a fixed light level equivalent to 10/sup 3/ photoelectrons per pulse. The apparent time shift was less than 0.5 nsec for variations from 10/sup 2/ to 10/sup 4/ photoelectons per pulse. (auth)
