what a "PAWG" is:-P.

Inappropriate and questionable backronyms are one of the best parts of reading scientific journals.

NMR is also not a great abriviation for a Swedish person, Nordiska Motståndsrörelsen (nordic resistance movement) and is a neo-nazi cult-like organization.

Is that actually what you are researching about? How would one make arbitrary photonic waveforms? Can one just use different monochromatic light sources and overlap them with adjusted phase shifts?

Na, I just found the acronym funny, so no idea how it's actually supposed to work. but there are lot's of different well-cited papers that propose PAWGs.
