Abstract
Optical frequency combs are used as local oscillators for the measurement
and analysis of unknown optical waveforms with periodic time domain structures.
Experimental results obtained by heterodyning pulsed and phase-modulated laser
sources are presented. The analysis is then extended to the heterodyning and
sampling of bandlimited incoherent light sources. It is shown theoretically
and experimentlly that the correlations between photodetected white light
at different times can generate RF interference that is sensitive to the optical
phase.
