Analysis- First-order dispersion • A dispersive medium can be described as a phase-only filter with a frequency transfer function: • First-order dispersion coefficient of the medium: • temporal impulse response: • Filter impulse response: • Fourier transforms of b(t):
Analysis-time lens • a time lens is a phase-only modulator with a modulation function: • Modulated signal: • Fourier transform of the time-lens modulation function m(t):
Frequency-to-time conversion • If the dispersion coefficient verifies the condition(temporal Fraunhofer condition):
Time-to-frequency conversion • If this bandwidth is sufficiently narrow so that: So: Can be neglected
