Abstract
Optical and radio-frequency waveforms with wide-band arbitrary modulation are generated using spectral shaping of a supercontinuum source followed by wavelength-to-time mapping. Adaptive computer control is used to mitigate the nonideal features inherent in the optical source and in the spectrum modulation process.
