The detection and characterization of radiation produced in laser–matter interactions pose significant challenges due to the extremely short duration and high intensity of the emitted signals. Different approaches can be employed to measure the charge generated in a detector by such laser-driven radiation. In this work, we present a peak detector system as a possible method for signal acquisition under these extreme conditions. We demonstrate that the detected signal can be strongly influenced by the intense electromagnetic pulse (EMP) generated during the laser–matter interaction. Using a simulated EMP, we illustrate how this interference can distort the acquired signal. Furthermore, we analyze how different cable types respond to such perturbations, showing that cables with more effective electromagnetic shielding exhibit superior attenuation of the EMP-induced noise.
