Abstract :
We present cycle-by-cycle generation of broadband burst and continuous millimeter waveforms through a direct space-to-time optical pulse shaping technique. We generate arbitrarily phase- and frequency-modulated waveforms through fast optical-to-electrical conversion of tailored optical pulse sequences.
