Abstract

We propose a new type of linear optical processor generating the convolutional ambiguity function of a spatial signal and a temporal signal. The core of the device is an anisotropically-dispersive (or alternatively a dispersively-anisotropic) homogeneous medium, and its principle of operation is based on the interaction between spatial diffraction and temporal dispersion.
