Abstract
We demonstrate the fundamental equivalence of time and space in Fourier-transform holography by converting temporal information from femtosecond optical pulses directly into spatial (pulse shape) information that can be recorded with a CCD camera in real time. This equivalence opens the possibility of mixing temporal and spatial information, which could lead to numerous applications, including temporal pattern recognition, signal routing, as well as multiplexing and de-multiplexing of optoelectronic signals.
