Dispersive Fourier transformation is a powerful technique in which spectral information is mapped into the time domain using chromatic dispersion. It replaces a spectrometer with an electronic digitizer, and enables real-time spectroscopy. The fundamental problem in this technique is the trade-off between the detection sensitivity and spectral resolution, a limitation set by the digitizers bandwidth. This predicament is caused by the power loss associated with optical dispersion. We overcome this limitation using Raman amplified spectrum-to-time transformation. An extraordinary loss-less -11.76 ns/nm dispersive device is used to demonstrate single-shot gas absorption spectroscopy with 950 MHz resolution--a record in real-time spectroscopy.

Broadband precision spectroscopy is indispensable for providing high fidelity molecular parameters for spectroscopic databases. We have recently shown that mechanical Fourier transform spectrometers based on optical frequency combs can measure broadb
and high-resolution molecular spectra undistorted by the instrumental line shape (ILS) and with a highly precise frequency scale provided by the comb. The accurate measurement of the power of the comb modes interacting with the molecular sample was achieved by acquiring single-burst interferograms with nominal resolution precisely matched to the comb mode spacing. Here we give a full theoretical description of this sub-nominal resolution method and describe in detail the experimental and numerical steps needed to retrieve ILS-free molecular spectra, i.e. with ILS-induced distortion below the noise level. We investigate the accuracy of the transition line centers retrieved by fitting to the absorption lines measured using this method. We verify the performance by measuring an ILS-free cavity-enhanced low-pressure spectrum of the 3{ u}1+{ u}3 band of CO2. We observe and quantify collisional narrowing of absorption line shape, for the first time with a comb-based spectroscopic technique. Thus retrieval of line shape parameters with accuracy not limited by the Voigt profile is now possible for entire absorption bands acquired simultaneously.
Coherent continuous wave (CW) terahertz spectroscopy is an extremely valuable technique that allows for the interrogation of systems that exhibit narrow resonances in the terahertz (THz) frequency range, such as high-quality (high-Q) THz whispering-g
allery mode resonators. Unfortunately, common implementations are dramatically impaired by deficiencies in the used data analysis schemes. Here, we show that the physics of the problem presents an elegant solution whose full potential has remained overlooked until now. We argue that, thanks to the causality of physical systems, Hilbert transformation can be used to analyze the frequency response of linear systems with arbitrarily narrow resonance features in coherent CW THz spectroscopy. In particular, by establishing that signals encountered in typical experiments are closely related to analytic signals, we demonstrate that Hilbert transformation is applicable even when the envelope varies rapidly compared to the oscillation period.
Frequency- and time-domain Brillouin spectroscopy are powerful tools to read out the mechanical properties of complex systems in material and life sciences. Indeed, coherent acoustic phonons in the time-domain method offer superior depth resolution a
nd a stronger signal than incoherent acoustic phonons in the frequency-domain method. However, it does not allow multichannel detection and therefore falls short in signal acquisition speed. Here, we present Brillouin spectroscopy that spans time- and frequency-domain to allow multichannel detection of Brillouin scattering light from coherent acoustic phonons. Our technique maps time-evolve Brillouin oscillations in a chromatic-dispersed laser pulses instantaneous frequency. Spectroscopic heterodyning of the Brillouin oscillations in the frequency domain enhances signal acquisition speed by at least 100-fold over the time-domain method. As a proof of concept, we imaged heterogeneous thin films over a wide bandwidth with nanometer depth resolution. We, therefore, foresee that our approach catalyses future phonon spectroscopy toward real-time mechanical imaging.
The potential for improving the penetration depth of optical coherence tomography systems by using increasingly longer wavelength light sources has been known since the inception of the technique in the early 1990s. Nevertheless, the development of m
id-infrared optical coherence tomography has long been challenged by the maturity and fidelity of optical components in this spectral region, resulting in slow acquisition, low sensitivity, and poor axial resolution. In this work, a mid-infrared spectral-domain optical coherence tomography system operating at 4 micron central wavelength with an axial resolution of 8.6 microns is demonstrated. The system produces 2D cross-sectional images in real-time enabled by a high-brightness 0.9-4.7 micron mid-infrared supercontinuum source with 1 MHz pulse repetition rate for illumination and broadband upconversion of more than 1 micron bandwidth from 3.58-4.63 microns to 820-865 nm, where a standard 800 nm spectrometer can be used for fast detection. Images produced by the mid-infrared system are compared with those delivered by a state-of-the-art ultra-high-resolution near-infrared optical coherence tomography system operating at 1.3 {mu}m, and the potential applications and samples suited for this technology are discussed. In doing so, the first practical mid-infrared optical coherence tomography system is demonstrated, with immediate applications in real-time non-destructive testing for the inspection of defects and thickness measurements in samples that are too highly scattering at shorter wavelengths.
Space-time wave packets can propagate invariantly in free space with arbitrary group velocity thanks to the spatio-temporal correlation. Here it is proved that the space-time wave packets are stable in dispersive media as well and free from the sprea
d in time caused by material dispersion. Furthermore, the law of anomalous refraction for space-time wave packets is generalized to the weakly dispersive situation. These results reveal new potential of space-time wave packets for the applications in real dispersive media.
