Abstract

In this paper, a new method for linear sweeping of wavelength swept laser has proposed, and the linear sweeping of 1kHz speed and 80nm range has realized by using this method. The proposed requires only one-shot calibration in the early stage on a wave pattern applied to FFP-TF. This makes the problem with nonlinear swept lasers like a cumbersome and time-consuming signal processing brought on by every recalibration to be resolved.

본 논문에서는 선형으로 스위핑하는 파장 스위핑 레이저를 구현하기 위한 새로운 방식을 제안하였으며, 레이저 제작 및 실험을 통하여 1kHz 속도, 80nm 구간의 선형 스위핑 특성을 확인하였다. 제안된 방식은 FFP-TF 인가 파형에 대한 초기 한번의 선 보정만을 필요로 한다. 따라서 기존의 비선형 스위핑 레이저에서 불가피한 후 보정 과정의 번거로움 및 시간 소모문제를 해결해 준다.
