Abstract
Wideband wavelength swept lasers (WSLs) are widely used as light sources for dynamic fiber optic sensors. In this study, we implemented an ultra-wideband wavelength-swept laser (WSL) that achieved a 10 dB bandwidth over 430 nm using a single polygonal scanning mirror-based wavelength tunable filter. The wavelength scanning range with a 1.8kHz scanning frequency is 1136.0~1567.2nm. Comparing the WSL output signal in the temporal and spectral domains resulted in an error of 0.7 nm in the mid-crossing region of the two gain media. To confirm WSL performance, the transmission band was measured by changing the electric field applied to the cholesteric liquid crystal cell, and it was confirmed that the transmitted beam according to the applied electric field matched each other in the spectral and temporal domains.
