Toward On-Chip Phase-Sensitive Optical Temporal Waveform Measurements

Abstract

This review summarizes the results obtained in 2011 toward the development of an "integrated optical oscilloscope," encompassing research on new technologies for the measurement of ultrafast optical pulses in both amplitude and phase through the use of integrated devices, some of which are compatible with electronic circuit technology (CMOS).
