Abstract
Advances in pulsed lasers have resulted in a growing need for methods and devices for controlling and exploiting the temporal bandwidth of pulsed fields. Mode-locked diode sources with subpicosecond pulse widths have recently been integrated [1]. We consider high-resolution integrated systems for modulating the bandwidth of such pulses. These systems are capable of creating arbitrarily-shaped optical pulses with bandwidths limited only by the bandwidth of the pulsed source. Applications for pulse-shaping devices exist in communications, optical computing, and nonlinear spectroscopy.
