METHOD AND DEVICE FOR PROGRAMMABLE SHAPING OF A TIME PROFILE FOR QUASI-MONOCHROMATIC OPTICAL PULSES

摘要

The invention concerns an optical method for programmable shaping of a time profile for quasi-monochromatic optical pulses comprising the following steps: distributing each of the spectral components of a pulse with wide time spectrum and obtaining an extended pulse with frequency drift while preserving the spectral width; shaping the pulse spectrally and consequently temporally; converting the wide spectrum into a narrow spectrum while preserving the temporal shaping.
