Abstract

System and method for simultaneously providing a wavelength spectral distribution and a temporal distribution of an incident light beam. The light beam is received at a wavelength spectral distribution module and is separated into light beam segments corresponding to at least two different wavelengths in a first selected direction transverse to beam propagation direction. The light beam is also received at a temporal distribution module, and segments of the light beam are distributed corresponding to at least two different times at which light in the beam was produced, in a second selected direction that is substantially perpendicular to the first direction. The temporal distribution module may include a rotating segmented mirror.
