Spatial-temporal wave mixing based on planar optical interconnection systems

A nonlinear optical processor that is capable of true real-time conversion of spatial-domain images to ultrafast time-domain optical waveforms based on planar optics is designed and simulated in this paper. The combine of femtosecond pulse shaping with planar optical configuration builds a totally new compact and reliable structure. We analyze the theory of this apparatus and consider the design of the particular lens for femtosecond pulse shaping based on planar optics and give the result of simulated with Dammann grating.
