Who Are We?

Technology

Time-lenses are based on the principle of the space–time duality of light, which states that a quadratic phase modulation of a temporal waveform is analogous to the action of a thin lens on a spatial beam, hence the expression “time-lens”.

Similar to a spatial lens system, a time-lens can be used to realize a temporal Fourier processor.

As the Fourier transform of a temporal waveform is its spectrum, the time-lens-based OFT can convert the temporal profile of the input signal to its spectral profile and vice versa. In particular, these OFT variations can be realized by merely reordering the time-lens and dispersive media arrangement.
