Synthetic dimensions in photonic structures provide unique opportunities for actively manipulating light in multiple degrees of freedom. Here, we theoretically explore a dispersive waveguide under the dynamic phase modulation that supports single pulse manipulations in the synthetic (2+1) dimensions. Compared with the counterpart of the conventional (2+1) space-time, we explore temporal diffraction and frequency conversion in a synthetic time-frequency space while the pulse evolves along the spatial dimension. By introducing the effective gauge potential well for photons in the synthetic time-frequency space with the control of the modulation phase, we show that a rich set of pulse propagation behaviors can be achieved, including confined pulse propagation, fast/slow light, and pulse compression. With the additional nonlinear oscillation subject to the effective force along the frequency axis of light, we provide an exotic approach for actively manipulating the single pulse in both temporal and spectral domains, which shows the great promise for applications of the pulse processing and optical communications in integrated photonics.

We formulate theoretically and demonstrate experimentally an all-optical method for reconstruction of the amplitude, phase and coherence of frequency combs from a single-shot measurement of the spectral intensity. Our approach exploits synthetic freq
uency lattices with pump-induced spectral short- and long-range couplings between different signal components across a broad bandwidth of of hundreds GHz in a single nonlinear fiber. When combined with ultra-fast signal conversion techniques, this approach has the potential to provide real-time measurement of pulse-to-pulse variations in the spectral phase and coherence properties of exotic light sources.
Ultrashort high-energy pulses at wavelengths longer than 1 $mu$m are nowadays desired for a vast variety of applications in ultrafast and strong-field physics. To date, the main answer to the wavelength tunability for energetic, broadband pulses stil
l relies on optical parametric amplification (OPA), which often requires multiple and complex stages, may feature imperfect beam quality and has limited conversion efficiency into one of the amplified waves. In this work, we present a completely different strategy to realize an energy-efficient and scalable laser frequency shifter. This relies on the continuous red shift provided by stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) over a long propagation distance in nitrogen-filled hollow core fibers (HCF). We show a continuous tunability of the laser wavelength from 1030 nm up to 1730 nm with conversion efficiency higher than 70% and high beam quality. The highly asymmetric spectral broadening, arising from the spatiotemporal nonlinear interplay between high-order modes of the HCF, can be readily employed to generate pulses (~20 fs) significantly shorter than the pump ones (~200 fs) with high beam quality, and the pulse energy can further be scaled up to tens of millijoules. We envision that this technique, coupled with the emerging high-power Yb laser technology, has the potential to answer the increasing demand for energetic multi-TW few-cycle sources tunable in the near-IR.
In contrast with imaging using position-resolving cameras, single-pixel imaging uses a bucket detector along with spatially structured illumination for image recovery. This emerging imaging technique is a promising candidate for a broad range of appl
ications due to high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and sensitivity, and applicability in a wide range of frequency bands. Here, inspired by single-pixel imaging in the spatial domain, we demonstrate a temporal single-pixel imaging (TSPI) system that covers frequency bands including both terahertz (THz) and near-infrared (NIR) region. By implementing a programmable temporal fan-out (TFO) gate based on a digital micromirror device (DMD), we can deterministically prepare temporally structured pulses with a temporal sampling size down to 16.00$pm$0.01 fs. By inheriting the advantages in detection efficiency and sensitivity from spatial single-pixel imaging, TSPI enables the compressive recovery of a 5 fJ THz pulse and two NIR pulses with over 97$%$ fidelity. We demonstrate that the TSPI is robust against temporal distortions in the probe pulse train as well. As a direct application, we apply TSPI to machine-learning-aided THz spectroscopy and demonstrate a high sample identification accuracy (97.5$%$) even under low SNRs (SNR $sim$ 10).
The concept of synthetic dimensions in photonics has attracted rapidly growing interest in the past few years. Among a variety of photonic systems, the ring resonator system under dynamic modulation has been investigated in depth both in theory and e
xperiment, and has proven to be a powerful way to build synthetic frequency dimensions. In this tutorial, we start with a pedagogical introduction to the theoretical approaches in describing the dynamically modulated ring resonator system, and then review experimental methods in building such a system. Moreover, we discuss important physical phenomena in synthetic dimensions, including nontrivial topological physics. Our tutorial provides a pathway towards studying the dynamically modulated ring resonator system, understanding synthetic dimensions in photonics, and discusses future prospects for both fundamental research and practical applications using synthetic dimensions.
A common challenge in quantum information processing with photons is the limited ability to manipulate and measure correlated states. An example is the inability to measure picosecond scale temporal correlations of a multi-photon state, given state-o
f-the-art detectors have a temporal resolution of about 100 ps. Here, we demonstrate temporal magnification of time-bin entangled two-photon states using a time-lens, and measure their temporal correlation function which is otherwise not accessible because of the limited temporal resolution of single photon detectors. Furthermore, we show that the time-lens maps temporal correlations of photons to frequency correlations and could be used to manipulate frequency-bin entangled photons. This demonstration opens a new avenue to manipulate and analyze spectral and temporal wavefunctions of many-photon states.
