Waveform Characterization for Spectral Line-by Line Pulse Shaping

Abstract

We have developed 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 high sensitivity sufficient for single-frame waveform detection.
