title: Time-delay to intensity mapping based on a second-order optical integrator: application to optical arbitrary waveform generation.
abstract: We propose and validate experimentally a time-delay to intensity mapping process based on second-order optical integrators. This mapping provides dynamic control of the intensity modulation profile of a waveform based on a purely passive and linear process. In particular, we can realize linear intensity control by tuning the time-delay between two optical pulses launched into a second-order optical integrator. We suggest and experimentally prove the use of this mapping process for reconfigurable optical arbitrary waveform generation.
