NARROW BAND INCOHERENT OPTICAL CARRIER GENERATOR |
摘要 |
A narrow bandwidth incoherent optical source is provided. A superluminescent source includes a gain medium having an input end and an output end. The input end of the gain medium is optically coupled to a reflector to cause spontaneous emissions within a predetermined band exiting the input of the gain medium to be reflected back into the medium. Spontaneous emissions outside of the predetermined band are lost. The gain medium can comprise a doped fiber, such as an Erbium doped fiber. An optical isolator prevents the superluminescent source from lasing. By providing a plurality of reflectors operating in different bands, the superluminescent source can generate a plurality of optical carriers.
