A novel spectral-slice Received in revised form 14 March 2011 dynamic-OAWG approach and waveform shapers with customized spectral multiplexers and modulators, Accepted 16 March 2011 enable continuous generation of high fidelity optical waveforms accessing bandwidths in excess of 1 THz. We Available online 5 April 2011 show results for two types integrated waveform shapers, a 100 GHz electrically controlled device with 10 channels spaced at 10 GHz and a 1 THz optically controlled device with 100 channels spaced at 10 GHz. Keywords: Optical pulse shaping Additionally, we include results from a 640 GHz waveform measurement device with 16 channels and 40 GHz Integrated optoelectronics
