Abstract
The present invention generally provides systems and methods for distribution of radiation among a plurality of optical channels, each of which can include a non-linear optical element. An optical system of the invention can include a source for generating radiation and an optical time-division multiplexer that can deflect, at any given time interval, the radiation into one of a plurality of optical channels.
