Abstract
With the development of high-frequency carriers and high-capacity communications, ultrahigh-speed spectrum analyzer based on all-optical methods has been demonstrated in many fields. Limited by current data processing algorithms, ultrahigh-speed spectrum analyzers based on time-lens, such as frequency-domain light intensity spectrum analyzer ( f -LISA) and parametric spectro-temporal analyzer (PASTA), are not yet to automatically process acquired data, which hinders their practicality. In this paper, a frame segmentation algorithm based on time-domain waveform analysis is proposed to achieve the automatic data processing of these analyzers, which can directly generate the spectro-temporal image of the signal under test. In a single-soliton test based on the f -LISA platform, the algorithm achieves an accuracy of 93.28% when the soliton changes and 90.04% when the soliton is stable. And in this test, the single-frame processing time of the algorithm is 419us. We believe the proposed algorithm will facilitate the practical application of spectrum analyzers like f -LISA and PASTA and provide a reference for other real-time measurement schemes.
