An electro-optic sampler utilizes a Pockels cell comprising an electro-optic crystal and a separate, removable sample carrier having an electrical transmission line affixed thereto to provide an electric field accessible to the optical sampling pulses. In the present system, a device under test is bonded to the removable sample carrier. The electro-optic crystal is not bonded to the carrier. Rather, means are provided for the electro-optic crystal to releasably engage the sample carrier and its affixed electrical transmission lines. Upon completion of a test, the carrier may be removed from the system with the device-under-test affixed thereto, and the same electro-optic crystal may be utilized in conjunction with another removable sample carrier having another device under test affixed thereto.
