Abstract
An optical process for the programmable time profile shaping of quasi-monochromatic optical pulses, involves the following steps: (1) spectral components of a wide spectrum pulse are spread out over time, and a stretched pulse with frequency drift is obtained, while conserving spectral width; (2) the pulse is spectrally shaped and, as a consequence, time shaped; and (3) the wide spectrum is converted into a narrow spectrum, while conserving time shaping.
