Abstract:
The combination of photonic time-stretch techniques and real-time electronics enables rapid single-shot spectral acquisition over millions of consecutive laser pulses. We present the first real-time spectral view onto the evolution of femtosecond-pulses from noise, onto stable and meta-stable multi-pulse operation.
