Abstract

The analogy between free-space propagation of optical beams and light-pulse reflection from linearly chirped fiber gratings is used to analyze the Lau effect in the temporal domain. The coherence conditions that are satisfied in the spatial domain for obtaining, at certain fixed locations, periodic fringes patterns are reformulated for guided light propagation. In this analogy, spatial periodic irradiance distributions are transformed in periodic sequences of light pulses. An optical setup is proposed to produce sharp pulse trains, with minimal distortion effects, that have repetition frequencies that are different from those associated with the input periodic optical signal. Some numerical results are given to illustrate this approach.
