Abstract

We experimentally demonstrate a spectral magnifier using an imaging system with two time-lenses based on four-wave mixing in a Si nanowaveguide. We achieve a magnification factor of 105 with a frequency resolution of 1 GHz. The system offers potential as a tool for single-shot, high resolution spectral measurements.

(a) Single time-lens temporal imaging system. The temporal magnification factor is given by the ratio of the image and object group delay parameters ϕ ″ 2/ϕ ″ 1. (b) Two time-lens spectral imaging system. The spectral magnification ratio is -ϕ ″ A /ϕ ″ B , which corresponds to the ratio of the focal length of the time lenses.
