Abstract :
We review the recent progress in the flexible wavelength selective signal processing based on two-dimensional phase front modulation with a liquid crystal on silicon modulator. Results include extremely accurate temporal pulse shaping and synchronized pulse burst generation on two different output ports. We characterize the generated waveforms with a fast optical sampling scope and linear spectrograms.
