  • Abstract
    We have introduced and experimentally demonstrated a nonlinear optical processor that performs pulse imaging of l-D femtosecond optical pulses. The processor operates at femtosecond rates and can be useful for optical network time-to-space demultiplexing applications. The demultiplexer is based on nonlinear three-wave mixing in a LBO crystal.
