Abstract
We demonstrate a new pulse-shaping technique, using an acousto-optic m odulator as a spatial modulator in a zero-dispersion delay line. Compa red with existing techniques, this approach simplifies optical alignme nt and dramatically improves update rates. It should also improve flex ibility for generating complex waveforms.
