  • Abstract
    We demonstrate a novel method capable of achieving ultrafast variable delay. This technique utilizes temporal gratings to vary the timing of optical pulses. Ultrafast, variable optical delays may be used in optical clock recovery circuits, all-optical phase-locked loops, and other applications.
