Abstract

Temporal imaging system have enabled imaging of ultrafast phenomena with high temporal resolution different ultrafast phenomena. Specifically, time-lenses which are based on nonlinear interaction of four-wave mixing have a wide field of view together with high F-number. These offers temporal imaging system with large magnifications in the time-domain. However, when considering a time-lens based on four-wave mixing interaction, the input signal must be synchronized to the pump wave which makes it challenging for measuring any ultrafast phenomena with unknown time-of-arrival. Therefore, we developed a temporal imaging system which does not require this synchronization between a signal and a pump wave. This is done by generating time-lenses with high repetitionrate. Therefore, any input signal will interact with one of the time-lenses and it will be imaged in time with high probability. In this proceeding, we demonstrate how our temporal scheme is able to measure with high temporal resolution the start-up dynamics of pulsation in a fiber laser.
