A method and apparatus for the characterization of optical pulses and modulators includes modulating, using a modulator, a train of optical pulses, measuring a spectrum of the modulated train of optical pulses, recording the measured spectrum as an entry in a spectrogram at a position in the spectrogram corresponding to a relative delay between the modulation and the train of optical pulses, incrementing the relative delay, and repeating the above steps until the accumulated relative delay is equal to the period of the spectrogram. The train of optical pulses and the modulator are then characterized using the measured spectra recorded in the spectrogram.
