Demonstration of a true single-shot 100 GHz-bandwidth optical oscilloscope at 1053-1064 nm

We demonstrate an innovating design to validate and to optimize the real-time performance of an all-optical oscilloscope at 1053-1064 nm. A unique broadband pulse is generated by means of frequency beats and of proper optical-shaping, which helps us to evidence a signal bandwidth of 100 GHz and a dynamics range in excess of 25 dB. Gain-narrowing and dispersion effects due to the replication of the input pulse are shown to be the first limitations in the broadband capabilities.
