Abstract :
This paper presents the authors\´ reply on the comments of Conway et al. about the fully electronic system for the time magnification of ultra-wideband signals. This is helpful clarification between two types of temporal imaging imaging systems, namely, those which feature pre-dispersion of the input waveform and those which do not (the so-called "photonic time-stretch" technique).
