Time-space-conversion Optical Signal Processing Using Arrayed-waveguide Grating and its Applications to Communication and Information Processing Systems.

Ultra-short optical pulse shaping based on time-to-space conversion has been widelydemonstrated by usingfree-space optics with diffraction grating pairs and lenses. We have proposed time-to-space conversion opticalsignal processing using an arrayed-waveguide grating. The arrayed-waveguide grating sy... View More
