摘要
A simple and compact frequency swept laser is demonstrated at 1.3 mu m using a wavelength scanning filter based on a rotating slit disk. The laser is comprised of a, pigtailed semiconductor optical amplifier, a circulator, and a wavelength scanning filter in an extended cavity configuration. The wavelength scanning filter is composed of a, collimator, a diffraction grating, a rotating slit disk, and a mirror. The instantaneous laser output power is more than 5 mW. The scanning range of the laser is extended to 80 nm at the maximum level, and 5.5 nm in the full width at half maximum at a scanning rate of 2 kHz.
