ABSTRACT:
A system that modifies a pulsed or continuous wave light beam of arbitrary frequency bandwidth facilitating optical pulse synthesis and pulse compression while largely conserving light energy. An electro-optic deflector scans a light pulse through an optical system which provides a varying optical path length that is a function of deflection angle. The input light pulse is temporally segmented in incremental or differential portions, each of which has a different transit time to some image plane at the output. The temporal portions are then recombined at the output to produce a new optical signal.
