Optical arbitrary waveform characterization using linear spectrograms.

چکیده
We demonstrate the first application of linear spectrogram methods based on electro-optic phase modulation to characterize optical arbitrary waveforms generated under spectral line-by-line control. This approach offers both superior sensitivity and self-referencing capability for retrieval of periodic high repetition rate optical arbitrary waveforms.

phase à 32 amplitude optical arbitrary waveform generation
We describe the precise shaping and mode-resolved amplitude and phase characterization of optical arbitrary waveforms by using a 20 GHz optical frequency comb and integrated 64 20 GHz channel arrayed waveguide grating pair. Complex waveforms with large variations in phase and amplitude between adjacent modes were generated and characterized. © 2007 Optical Society of America OCIS codes: 320.710...
متن کاملWaveform 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...
متن کاملTime-delay to intensity mapping based on a second-order optical integrator: application to optical arbitrary waveform generation.
We propose and validate experimentally a time-delay to intensity mapping process based on second-order optical integrators. This mapping provides dynamic control of the intensity modulation profile of a waveform based on a purely passive and linear process. In particular, we can realize linear intensity control by tuning the time-delay between two optical pulses launched into a second-order opt...
متن کاملNear quantum-limited, single-shot coherent arbitrary optical waveform measurements.
Four-quadrature spectral interferometry using balanced coherent detection enables single-shot full-field characterization of complex-shaped optical waveforms with near quantum-limited sensitivity. A 90 degrees optical hybrid places a waveform in four-quadrature-phases with a stronger, well-characterized reference pulse. Measurement of the four spectra with an integrating two-dimensional detecto...
متن کاملRapid updating of optical arbitrary waveforms via time-domain multiplexing.
We demonstrate high-fidelity optical arbitrary waveform generation with 5 GHz waveform switching via time-domain multiplexing. Compact, integrated waveform shapers based on silica arrayed-waveguide grating pairs with 10 GHz channel spacing are used to shape (line-by-line) two different waveforms from the output of a 10-mode x 10 GHz optical frequency comb generator. Characterization of the time...
