摘要
The topic of this paper is the utilization of time for optical information processing. As clock rates in computing and communication systems increase and reach the THz border, optical techniques for signal filtering, shaping and clock distribution become attractive. We discuss the use of optics in temporal processing and consider in particular diffractive solutions. In part one of this paper, we discuss the basic concepts of temporal optics.
