Abstract

We report on the demonstration of the chirp transform algorithm for the instantaneous optical frequency analysis of wide band radiofrequency signals. The process exploits photon echoes in an Er^{3 +} : YSO crystal at 1536 nm. The analysis covers a 1.6 GHz instantaneous bandwidth together with more than 24,000 independent channels. These performances require a frequency agile laser source that is phase-locked in order to take advantage of the tens of μ s of coherence time offered by the crystal optical transition.
