Abstract

We show the potential use of a single photodetector for multichannel pulse monitoring. Two-photon absorption in a micro-cavity structure is used as the nonlinear optical technique for pulse monitoring. Angle tuning of the device allows the resonance to be tuned. For the device studied here that is optimized for 2-ps pulses, a possible tuning range of 55 nm is shown.
