Magnified Time-Domain Ghost Imaging

Abstract: Ghost imaging allows to image an object without directly seeing this object. Origi- nally demonstrated in the spatial domain using classical or entangled-photon sources, it was recently shown that ghost imaging can be transposed into the time domain to detect ultrafast signals with high temporal resolution. Here, using an incoherent supercontinuum light source whose spectral fluctuations are imaged using spectrum- to-time transformation in a dispersive fiber, we experimentally demonstrate magnified ghost imaging in the time domain. Our approach is scalable and allows to overcome the resolution limitation of time-domain ghost imaging.
