Abstract :
The authors present a first experimental demonstration of time-lens-based operation by electrooptic phase modulation to perform real-time spectral analysis of optical pulse trains. The obtained resolution was 0.04 nm. Under certain conditions the resolution of the real-time spectrum analyser can exceed that of conventional optical spectrum analysers
