Dual-comb electric-field cross-correlation technique for optical arbitrary waveform characterization.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present an electric-field cross-correlation technique that uses a pair of frequency combs to sweep phase and group delays independently without a mechanical stage. We demonstrate this technique for characterization of optical arbitrary waveforms composed of ~30 spectral lines from a 10 GHz frequency comb. Rapid data acquisition (tens of microseconds) enables interferometric spectral phase measurement of pulses subject to propagation over 20 km of optical fiber.

Waveform Characterization for Spectral Line-by Line Pulse Shaping
We have developd new techniques that enable characterization of ultrafast optical waveforms generated via spectral line-by-line pulse shaping under the Optical Arbitrary Waveform Generation (O-AWG) program. Our approaches simultaneously address a number of challenging requirements not met by existing waveform measurement methods, including high waveform complexity, high spectral resolution, and...

We demonstrate a new dual-quadrature spectral shearing interferometry technique appropriate for spectral phase characterization of arbitrary optical waveforms generated by line-by-line shaping of high-repetition- rate (approximately 10 GHz) optical frequency combs. Spectral shearing interferograms are generated through sum-frequency mixing of the frequency comb field with a pair of reference to...

متن کاملOptical arbitrary waveform generation
nature photonics | VOL 4 | NOVEMBER 2010 | www.nature.com/naturephotonics Although the electromagnetic spectrum is a continuum, a strong distinction is typically drawn between electronics and optics. This distinction is due, in part, to the very different technologies used for electronics and optics. A further distinction is that electronic devices typically generate and measure electric field ...
متن کاملSingle shot amplitude and phase characterization of optical arbitrary waveforms.
Using a time-gated dual quadrature spectral interferometry technique, for the first time we demonstrate single-shot characterization of both spectral amplitude and phase of approximately 1THz bandwidth optical arbitrary waveforms generated from a 10 GHz frequency comb. Our measurements provide a temporal resolution of 1ps over a record length of 100ps. Singleshot characterization becomes partic...
