How Is The Broadband Light Source Moving Spectroscopy to UV From Near-IR?

-

Discharge lamps, dye lasers, and optical parametric oscillators were the only valuable sources for spectroscopy in the early 1990s or mid-1980s. However, as optical technologies evolve and their applications broaden, we have been introduced to new light sources and lasers. The broadband light source is one such type of light source that has gained popularity in optical spectroscopy.

In this blog post, we will look at what a broadband light source is, how it works, and how it opens up new opportunities for spectroscopists.

What Exactly Is A Broadband Light Source?

A broadband light source, also known as a superluminescent source, is a superluminescent diode with a wavelength of emission of 700 nm and a bandwidth of 1700 nm that is perfect for OEM integration. Moreover, it is often used for multi-wavelength tests for measuring wavelength-division-multiplexing components. This implies it has a wide range of applications in the medical, telecommunications, sensing, and measurement industries.

Broadband light sources are utilized for ultrahigh-resolution optical coherence tomography, passive component testing, and multi-channel fiber Bragg grating interrogation, in addition to these applications. Now, let’s take a closer look at how a broadband light source works.

Explained: How Does FP Laser Work?

-
Image
The Fabry Perot– FP laser , also known as the Fabry Perot Interferometer (FPI), is a type of laser that is widely used in the telecommunications industry, astronomy, and other fields. This laser’s primary application is for low-data-rate short-distance transmission over distances of up to 20 kilometers. It should be noted that the FP laser is a more advanced version or substitute for the DFB (Distributed Feedback) laser. The spectrum width is the fundamental distinction between DFB and Fabry Perot lasers. On the one hand, the Fabry Perot laser has a wide spectrum width and is a multi-longitudinal mode laser, whereas the DFB laser has a narrow spectrum width and is a single longitudinal mode laser.

DFB Laser vs. DBR Laser: 4 Major Differences

The late 1990s to the early 2000s telecom revolution prompted laser manufacturers to innovate and design more varieties of lasers to meet the growing demand in telecom applications. One of the best ways to meet the need for low signal lasers is to use distributed feedback lasers (DFB lasers). These lasers have not only contributed to addressing the needs of the telecommunications industry but have also caused the disappearance of DBR lasers (Distributed Bragg Reflectors) from the market. In this post, we'll look at the differences between DFB lasers and DBR lasers. But before that, we will take a quick look at what DFB laser is and what DBR laser is. What Is A DFB Laser? A DFB laser is a type of diode laser that generates resonance and oscillation in the cavity using diffraction gratings rather than mirrors. A distributed feedback (DFB) laser's purpose is to sharpen the output of conventional Fabry-Perot lasers . The substitution of mirrors with grating offers DFB la...

Distributed Feedback Laser: Working and Its Importance

In recent years, we've been introduced to various advanced lasers that have been developed to address the growing demand for communication. The DFB laser is one such name on the list. DFB Lasers produce a single-mode output and are much more stable than Fabry-Perot Lasers and Distributed Bragg Reflector Lasers. A diffraction grating placed along the active region of the chip can accomplish this. Distributed feedback lasers are commonly used as a light source for metro, long-distance, and underwater applications due to their narrow spectral width and wavelength stability. In this blog, we'll look at how distributed feedback lasers work and how important they are. But first, let us define the DFB laser and its various types. What Is DFB Laser and What Are Its Different Types? A DFB laser is a narrow linewidth laser diode or optical fiber laser in which the grating occurs throughout the cavity rather than just at the two ends. The diode's structure creates a one-dime...
