Abstract
Ultrafast optical waveform measurement is essential to realize ultrahigh-speed optical communications [1]. Optical sampling using optical nonlinear effects is promising because of its ultrashort response times. Recently, several optical sampling methods were demonstrated based on sum-frequency-generation (SFG) [2][3], cross-phase-modulation[4] and four-wave mixing[5], but the time resolution was limited to several picoseconds because of the sampling pulse width.
