We demonstrate a fast Quasi-Continuous frequency scanning semiconductor laser source for optical fiber sensor interrogation systems. The tunable laser covers a wavelength range of 32nm in C-band with tuning resolution of 8pm. The scanning time over the complete wavelength range in C band is less than 1ms while the switching time from one wavelength point to another point can be less than 100ns. A fast current driver controlled using FPGAs have been employed to drive a DSDBR laser for the realization of the fast tunable laser module. Experimental results have verified its possible application in optical sensor interrogation systems.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
