Abstract
We propose and demonstrate a new wavelength-division-sampling technique wit h high temporal resolution. A discrete-time true-time delay generates multi wavelength near-transform-limited pulses from a supercontinuum source. Puls es sample the analog signal in an electro-optic modulator and are subsequen tly demultiplexed in a wavelength-division-multiplexing filter. A 100-Gsamp le/s experimental demonstration of this concept is presented. (C) 1999 Opti cal Society of America.
