Dispersive Fourier transform is a characterization technique that allows directly extracting an optical spectrum from time domain signal, thus providing access to real-time of the signal spectrum. However, these techniques suffer sensitivity and dynamic range limitations, hampering their use for special applications in, e.g., high-contrast characterizations sensing. Here, we report on novel approach dispersive transform-based using single-photon detectors. In particular, experimentally...
