Abstract :
Parabolic pulses with durations ranging from the picosecond to the sub-nanosecond range (100-ps reported here) were generated through frequency-to-time mapping. A virtual time-lens was applied in the spectral shaping stage in order to relax the constraints imposed by the far-field condition.
