A novel scheme for synchronous optical sampling based on multicast parametric process

We propose a novel scheme for synchronous optical sampling based on multicast parametric process. The linearly chirped and time-broadened pulses are utilized to replace the traditional mode-locked sampling pulses. An optical sampling rate of 80 Gbit/s is realized by using only one sampling source with repetition rate of 10 GHz.
