FBG array based wavelength calibration scheme for Fourier domain mode-locked laser with pm resolution and hourly
Abstract:
We demonstrate a fiber Bragg grating (FBG) array based wavelength calibration scheme for Fourier domain mode-locked (FDML) laser. The wavelength interval and the temperature feedback module of the FBG array are designed to ensure the reference stability of the wavelength calibration scheme. Combined with the calibration scheme, the FDML laser with a tunable wavelength range of ∼60 nm, a center wavelength of 1300 nm and a sweep frequency of 39.63 kHz is built up to demonstrate its feasibility. The FBG wavelength demodulation based on the calibrated FDML laser system shows a wavelength resolution of 2.76 pm and hourly stability of 10.22 pm.
