Abstract :
Phase Reconstruction using Optical Ultrafast Differentiation (PROUD) is implemented using an integrated Mach-Zehnder Interferometer, demonstrating self-referenced phase characterization of GHz-rate complex (up to 4-level amplitude and 4-level phase) modulation signals in a single-shot and real-time.
