摘要：

We report femtosecond time-to-space transformation by means of a potassium niobate nonlinear optical crystal inside a femtosecond pulse shaper. We achieve an upconversion efficiency higher than 50%, a more than 500-fold increase as compared with previous results. We also present theoretical guidelines for Estimating the efficiency of such time-to-space converters. (C) 1998 Optical Society of America [S0740-3224(98)01603-8].
