Title:
WIDE BAND WAVELENGTH TUNABLE LASER BEAM GENERATOR
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2003043531
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:

To provide a wide band wavelength tunable laser beam generator which is a laser light source having a tunable wavelength in a wide band in a near infrared area utilizing the nonlinear optical effect of silica (glass) fibers and has extra-wide band wavelength tunability, not easily be achieved by a conventional wavelength tunable laser and generates coherent light which can continuously sweep the overall wavelength area by easy mechanical operation of a single wavelength selection element and has the emission direction fixed independently of wavelength.

The wide band wavelength tunable laser beam generator is the laser light source having the tunable wavelength in a wide band in a near infrared area utilizing the nonlinear optical effect of silica optical fibers 8 and has extra-wide band wavelength tunability and generates coherent light capable of sweeping the overall wavelength area by a single wavelength selection element 10.
