14 Dispersion-time lens dualism
15 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):
16 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):
17 Dual Fraunhofer regimes
18 Frequency-to-time conversion If the dispersion coefficient verifies the condition(temporal Fraunhofer condition):
19 Time-to-frequency conversion If this bandwidth is sufficiently narrow so that: Can be neglected So:
