Abstract
We propose and demonstrate the use of quadratic spatial soliton generation together with a spatial filtering of the optical beam, as an efficient mean for the realization of ultrafast temporal reshaping of optical pulses. We show that the device has an intensity-dependent transmission similar to the one of a saturable absorber and we numerically investigate the parameters for optimum temporal filtering.
