Wavelength streak camera
Abstract
We have demonstrated the recording of 8 GHz electrical signals by optically encoding time into wavelength and deflecting, by means of a diffraction grating, the optical signal across a readout array. The experiments were performed at 820 nm and show promise for circumventing the material dispersion in fibers at this wavelength to allow propagation of high bandwidth microwave signals (up to 10 GHz) over 1 km distances.
