SUMMARY

The discussion centers on locating a specific research paper that explores the use of an electro-optic LiNbO3 phase modulator for generating bandwidth on a pulse, complemented by a spatial light modulator for pulse shaping. The output pulses are described as being several hundred femtoseconds wide. The user has attempted to search for the paper using ISI with relevant keywords but has not succeeded. A suggestion was made to check the browser history for the initial access to the paper.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of electro-optic modulation, specifically LiNbO3 phase modulators.
  • Familiarity with spatial light modulators and their applications in pulse shaping.
  • Knowledge of pulse width measurements in femtoseconds.
  • Experience with academic search tools like ISI for literature retrieval.
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the principles of electro-optic modulation using LiNbO3 phase modulators.
  • Explore the functionality and applications of spatial light modulators in optical systems.
  • Learn about techniques for measuring and analyzing pulse widths in femtoseconds.
  • Investigate advanced search strategies for academic databases like ISI to improve literature searches.
USEFUL FOR

Researchers, optical engineers, and students in photonics who are looking for advanced techniques in pulse generation and modulation using electro-optic devices.

I found an interesting paper a few weeks ago, but I haven't been able to find it again. The paper concerned using an electro-optic (LiNbO3) phase modulator to generate bandwidth on a pulse, and then using a spatial light modulator to shape the bandwidth and get a nice clean compressed pulse out. I think the output pulses were several hundred femtoseconds wide, but I'm not 100% sure.

I'm wondering if anyone either knows of the paper or can recommend a way I can go about looking for it. I've been using ISI to search, just putting in key words that seem to fit, but I haven't come up with anything. Thanks a lot.

Unfortunately my history doesn't go back far enough. Thanks for the suggestion though.
