Abstract
On the basis of space-time duality, we propose experimental setups to imple ment the cross-ambiguity function optically in space and time in one and tw o dimensions. In space the cross-ambiguity is shown to be related to the co upling efficiency between butt-joined optical waveguides. In time it is rel ated to the spectrogram or the frequency-resolved optical gating techniques for the characterization of optical pulses. (C) 1999 Optical Society of Am erica.
