Abstract
We demonstrate several nonlinear optical techniques that allow spatial-temporal processing of femtosecond laser pulses. Photorefractive and cascaded second order nonlinear wave mixing is used to convert space domain information into ultrafast temporal waveforms. Spectral domain three wave mixing allows time imaging of femtosecond signals as well as characterization of the signal complex amplitude. Femtosecond pulse interferometry is applied for spatial and temporal characterization of the multimode optical fiber.
