Abstract
A method, systems and apparatus for providing true-time-delayed signals using optical inputs is disclosed. In one aspect a system for providing optical true-time-delayed signals is provided. The system includes at least one optical source having emitting an optical signal having a predetermined wavelength, an optical waveguide optically coupled to the at least one optical source, and a diffraction element optically coupled to the waveguide, the diffraction element positioned along the waveguide at a predetermined distance.
