The space–time duality in optics originates from the mathematical equivalence between paraxial diffraction and dispersive propagation1. Remarkably, this duality enables one to translate spatial-domain optical techniques to the temporal domain, which has fostered the development of powerful temporal imaging approaches, such as temporal microscopy, to characterize optical signals2,3. Among the many
