Abstract
We demonstrated the long coherence 1.0-μm stretched-pulse mode locking wavelength-swept source based on a precise dispersion compensation using chirped fiber Bragg grating (CFBG). In the optical pulse width of 72 ps, the optical bandwidth was 97 nm, and the coherence length was 5.0 mm. We also obtained ultra-high speed in-vivo human retinal optical coherence tomography images with a 5-MHz A-line rate. Because the dispersion profile of CFBG was designed to be linear in wavenumber, the wavenumber linearity of this laser is 0.9999997 (R2), which avoided the use of interpolation during real-time imaging.
