Abstract :
An up-conversion time lens has been demonstrated for the first time. This type of time lens is based on noncollinear up-conversion of the signal with a linearly chirped pump. It has been used in a time microscope system to produce a temporal magnification of M=-11.7. This technique should prove useful for allowing direct measurements of ultrashort waveforms by magnifying them to a time scale accessible to current state-of-the-art instruments
