Abstract :
We demonstrate fast (~1.4 mus) spectral amplitude and phase characterization of optical arbitrary waveforms generated by line-by-line shaping of a 10 GHz frequency comb. Our technique enables coherent spectral phase measurement after dispersive propagation over long (~50 km) lengths of optical fiber.
