The time stretch dispersive Fourier Transform (TS-DFT) technique based on a fiber
chromatic dispersion is a powerful tool for pulse-by-pulse single-shot spectrum
measurement for highrepetition rate optical pulses. The distributed feedback laser diode

The time stretch dispersive Fourier Transform (TS-DFT) technique based on a fiber chromatic dispersion is a powerful tool for pulse-by-pulse single-shot spectrum measurement for highrepetition rate optical pulses. The distributed feedback laser diode (DFB-LD) with the gain switch operation can flexibly change the pulse repetition frequency (PRF). In this paper, we newly introduce a semiconductor gain-switched DFB-LD operating from 1 MHz up to 1 GHz PRF into the TS-DFT based spectrum measurement system to improve the flexibility and the operability. The pulse width can be below 2 ps with a pulse compression technique. We successfully measure the spectrum of each optical pulse at 1 GHz, 100 MHz, and 10 MHz PRF, and demonstrate the flexibility of the measurement system.
