    Explore Article IEEE Xplore (Jun 15 2008) Tunable Sources

    We demonstrate a single-mode and fast wavelength swept light source by employing superstructure-grating distributed Bragg reflector (SSG-DBR) lasers for use in optical frequency-domain reflectometry optical coherence tomography. A noteworthy feature is that our laser employs a thermal drift compensator (TDC). By utilizing the TDC, we achieved a fast wavelength sweep without any unexpected mode hopping. We newly designed and fabricated SSG-DBR lasers covering the following four wavelength bands: 1496-1529, 1529-1564, ... (Read Full Article)
