Abstract
A system for analog-to-digital conversion, preferably including one or more optical inputs, optical sources, phase remodulators, and/or photonic circuits, and optionally including detector banks and/or digital electronics. A method for analog-to-digital conversion, preferably including receiving an optical input signal, generating a phase-modulated optical signal, and/or generating a plurality of optical outputs, and optionally including generating a plurality of electrical outputs and/or encoding a digital representation of the outputs.
