Abstract

Shannon's information theory teaches us that the amount of information gained in a measurement is inversely proportional to its predictability. Difficult to capture, flash-like signals contain far more information than repetitive waveforms. The Photonic Time Stretch data acquisition invented two decades ago, has emerged as the most successful solution to single-shot measurements of transient events. This talk will review the fundamentals of photonic time stretch and its numerous applications in science, biomedicine and as mathematical inspiration for a new class of numerical algorithms.
