Optical Coherent Transient Processors and True-Time-Delays

Abstract

The objectives of the research efforts supported by this DURIP award are to demonstrate and characterize the operation of optical coherent transient processing and true-time-delay devices at bandwidth well in excess of a gigahertz. The mode-locked Ti:Sapphire regenerative laser amplifier, associated pump laser combined with our existing, chirped laser system, and support equipment purchased with the DURIP funds has given us the capability to demonstrate and evaluate of coherent transient processing and true-time-delay devices in the 1-100 GHz bandwidth regime. Research in this operating regime is crucial to the development of high performance rf photonic systems critical to our national defense.
