Single-shot all-optical sampling oscilloscope with fiber pulse replicator

When the data are not repetitive, or the averaging provided by other techniques is not desirable, a single-shot technique should be used. High-dynamic-range single-shot cross-correlator based on pulse replicator composed of angled high reflector and partial reflector was proposed by Dorrer et al. In this paper we propose single shot optical sampling oscilloscope that uses a fiber pulse replicator and a sampler based on FWM.
