Continuing our previous findings that ultrashort pulses applied to              Josephson junctions have excitation characteristics significantly               different from the static limit, this work will investigate how                 different values of pulse duration actually change the excitation               thresholds.  The practical use of these results in the design of GHz            superconducting electronics will be investigated.                                                                                                               The electro-optic sampling technique will be applied to the                     transmission line structures to study their characteristics in the              femtosecond (terahertz) regime.  The algorithm previously developed by          us for use in structures will be extended to allow inclusion of either          BCS-type of dispersion or the two-fluid model results in computing              transient dispersions.  Since the loss of a superconducting                     transmission line is directly related to the quasiparticle                      distributions and, in the case of a gap-less superconductor, it is              significantly different from the BCS result, our transmission                   experiments are then well suited to test the validity of this theory.
