Optical Arbitrary Waveform Generation (OAWG)

Abstract

(U) The ultimate vision for the Optical Arbitrary Waveform Generator (OAWG) program was to demonstrate a compact, robust, practical, stable octave-spanning optical oscillator, integrated with an encoder/decoder capable of addressing individual frequency components with an update rate equal to the mode-locked repetition rate. This would provide an unprecedented level of performance for optical systems, and enable numerous high-level applications including sub-diffraction-limited imaging and ultra-wide band optical communications.
