Abstract

I review work in my laboratory on femtosecond optical techniques for synthesizing, transmitting, processing, and receiving ultrafast optical waveforms and bit sequences with features as short as femtoseconds. Novel ultrafast optics approaches for processing ultrahigh-speed, broadband optical signals will be described, and progress towards realizing these approaches in forms compatible with real-world application will be discussed
