APPARATUS AND METHOD WHICH CAN INCLUDE CENTER-WAVELENGTH SELECTABLE, BANDWIDTH ADJUSTABLE, SPECTRUM CUSTOMIZABLE, AND/OR MULTIPLEXABLE SWEPT-SOURCE LASER ARRANGEMENT

摘要

Systems, methods and computer-accessible mediums for providing a radiation(s) can be provided. For example, a hardware arrangement can be configured to provide the radiation(s) that can have a wavelength(s) that continuously changes over time and over a predetermined bandwidth with a predetermined envelope in a single sweep. The hardware arrangement can include a gain arrangement and a controller arrangement, and the controller arrangement can be configured to electronically control the gain arrangement such that the wavelength(s) provided by the hardware arrangement (i) spans a subset of the predetermined bandwidth, or (ii) changes a wavelength dependent distribution in the single sweep.

主权项

1. An apparatus for providing at least one radiation, comprising:
a hardware arrangement which is configured to provide the at least one radiation that has at least one wavelength which continuously changes over time and over a predetermined bandwidth with a predetermined envelope in a single sweep, wherein the hardware arrangement includes a gain arrangement and a controller arrangement, and wherein the controller arrangement is configured to electronically control the gain arrangement such that the at least one wavelength provided by the hardware arrangement at least one of (i) spans a subset of the predetermined bandwidth, or (ii) changes a wavelength dependent distribution in the single sweep.
