We demonstrate a compact high-power rapidly swept wavelength tunable laser source based on a semiconductor optical amplifier and an extended-cavity grating filter. The laser produces excellent output characteristics for biomedical imaging, exhibiting >4-mW average output power, <0.06-nm instantaneous linewidth, and >80-dB noise extinction with its center wavelength swept over 100 nm at 1310 nm at variable repetition rates up to 500 Hz.
我们展示了一种基于半导体光放大器和扩展腔光栅滤波器的紧凑型高功率快速扫频波长可调谐激光源。该激光器在生物医学成像方面具有出色的输出特性，平均输出功率大于4 mW，瞬时线宽小于0.06 nm，噪声抑制大于80 dB，其中心波长在1310 nm处扫频超过100 nm，可变重复频率高达500 Hz。
