Abstract :
A new technique for real-time processing of arbitrary optical signals is proposed and experimentally demonstrated. A parametric processor was used to form multiple signal copies, synchronize intercopy delays, and perform simultaneous sampling of spectrally diverse waveforms. The processor used a single parametric gate to obtain multiple subrate streaming outputs.
