Full-Field Optical Coherence Tomography Using Galvo Filter-Based Wavelength Swept Laser
We report a wavelength swept laser-based full-field optical coherence tomography for measuring the surfaces and thicknesses of refractive and reflective samples. The system consists of a galvo filter-based wavelength swept laser and a simple Michelson interferometer. Combinations of the reflective and refractive samples are used to demonstrate the performance of the system. By synchronizing the...
متن کاملCharacterization of Fourier domain mode-locked wavelength swept laser for optical coherence tomography imaging.
We present characteristics of a wavelength swept laser with a scanning fiber Fabry-Perot filter at 1300 nm. We investigate the dependence of the scanning frequencies in the swept laser. In conventional wavelength swept lasers, the relative intensity of the laser output decreases significantly as the scanning frequency increases. The peak wavelength of the output spectrum is red-shifted due to t...
متن کاملHigh-speed polygon-scanner-based wavelength-swept laser source in the telescope-less configurations with application in optical coherence tomography.
A compact high-speed tuning laser source is demonstrated in two different configurations using a polygonal mirror scanner without a telescope. It is shown that the filter configuration finesse increases by utilizing multiple reflections from the polygon facet(s) and grating illumination(s). Theoretically, the free spectral range (FSR), the instantaneous linewidth, and the finesse of each filter...
متن کاملMode locking of a wavelength-swept laser.
Self-starting, stable mode-locked pulses can be generated from a wavelength-swept laser through the interplay between an intracavity scanning filter and self-phase modulation. From an Er3+-doped fiber laser employing a scanning Fabry-Perot filter, 100 ps optical pulses are obtained at a 12-MHz repetition rate with center wavelengths that are swept over 27 nm around 1.55 microm in 1 ms.
متن کاملHigh-Coherence Wavelength Swept Light Source
[Summary] Optical technologies that have so far been restricted to the field of optical communications are now starting to be applied in new fields, especially medicine. Optical Frequency Domain Reflectometry (OFDR) offering fast and accurate target position measurements is one focus of attention. The Wavelength Swept Light Source (WSLS) is said to be one of the key devices of OFDR, whose sweep...
