The purpose of this research was to design and implement a data acquisition system for the study of dynamic signals in the time in order of nanoseconds, through the use of electronic instrumentation to obtain the temporal profiles of light signals, such as pulses of light from a laser or fluorescent light signals. To carry out the design and implementation of the data acquisition system proposed, we used a rapid response transducer and a data acquisition card of high speed. As well, it was developed a graphical user interface for visualization, analysis and study of the data acquired. Thus, it was possible to perform the digitization of a pulse on the order of nanoseconds, as well as the acquisition of fluorescence signals of different wavelengths, from which to obtain theoretical and experimental valuable knowledge based on the physics of spectroscopy.
