Abstract :
Fiber-optic-based electro-optic polarization rotators are used to modulate multiple wavelengths simultaneously to facilitate single-shot pulse characterization and enhanced signal-to-noise ratios with electro-magnetic interference and radiation hardness. Multiple wavelengths create independent samples for averaging.
