Time-domain waveform processing by chromatic dispersion for temporal shaping of optical pulses
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe a novel method for subpicosecond pulse shaping based on longitudinal spectral decomposition in dispersive media. The entire system is created with standard telecommunications equipment allowing for integration with optical communication networks. The technique has the potential for time–bandwidth products 104 due to exclusive reliance on time-domain processing. We introduce the principle of operation and subsequently support it with results from our experimental system. Both theory and experiments suggest thirdorder dispersion as the principle limitation to realizing a large number of resolvable spots. Chirped fiber Bragg gratings offer a route to increase the time–bandwidth product for high-speed signal processing applications. © 2005 Optical Society of America OCIS codes: 320.5540, 070.6020, 260.2030.

High-rate femtosecond pulse generation via line-by-line processing of phase-modulated CW laser frequency comb
Introduction: High repetition rate optical pulses in a few picosecond range and below are playing an increasingly important role in high speed optical fibre communication systems. Such high repetition rate short pulses are routinely generated by harmonically modelocked lasers [1], but with the following limitations: (i) complicated feedback control is required; (ii) the modelocked frequency com...
متن کاملFiber chromatic dispersion measurement based on wavelength-to-time mapping using a femtosecond pulse laser and an optical comb filter
A novel method for the measurement of chromatic dispersion of an optical fiber based on wavelength-to-time mapping using a femtosecond pulse laser (FSPL) and an optical comb filter is proposed and experimentally evaluated. In the proposed approach, the spectrum of an ultrashort optical pulse generated by an FSPL is sliced by an optical comb filter. The spectrum-sliced optical pulse is then coup...

We describe what we believe to be novel methods for waveform synthesis and detection relying on longitudinal spectral decomposition of subpicosecond optical pulses. Optical processing is performed in both all-fiber and mixed fiber-free-space systems. Demonstrated applications include ultrafast optical waveform synthesis, microwave spectrum analysis, and high-speed electrical arbitrary waveform ...
