- Characterization of a fibre optic swept laser source at 1 μm for optical coherence tomography imaging systemsPublication . Trifanov, Irina; Neagu, Liviu; Bradu, Adrian; Lobo Ribeiro, Antonio B.; Podoleanu, Adrian Gh.We report the development of a swept wavelength laser at 1 micron based on a linear cavity fibre configuration with an intra-cavity half symmetrical confocal Fabry-Perot tunable filter and a semiconductor optical amplifier as a gain medium. The performances of the source in terms of parameters like: sweep repetition rate (1-20 kHz), center wavelength (1065 nm), wavelength scanning range (max. 50nm), instantaneous line-width (<0.1nm) and a boosted output power of around 40 mW are demonstrated. The new source tested on an OCT system is exhibiting sufficient linearity in wave-number (k-space) at 1 kHz repetition rate; therefore no k-trigger, or wavelength rescaling process was needed.
