We demonstrate a new tool called optical spectrogram scope for visualization of a spectrogram or a scalogram of optical ultrafast phenomena. The optical spectrogram scope is constructed on the basis of the time-to-two-dimensional-space conversion technique capable of converting a set of time-varying frequency distributions into two-dimensional spatial ones.
Key words : spectrogram, time-frequency transform, time-scale transform, interferometric time-of-flight cross correlation, time-space conversion
