Abstract
We report the first demonstration, to our knowledge, of time-to-space conversion of femtosecond optical pulses using nondegenerate, collinearly phase-matched sum-frequency generation. A quasi-monochromatic and background-free output signal spanning a time window of and with a pulse image width of was achieved. The resulting serial-to-parallel resolution factor of 100 demonstrates the potential for all-optical complete frame demultiplexing of a optical time-division multiplexing bit stream.
