摘要: An optical coherence tomography system utilizes an swept laser that has cavity length compensator changes of the for different frequencies to increase lower frequencies. Specifically, a spectral separation between longitudinal modes is shortened or alternatively lengthened as passband tuning element sweeps through scanband signal. In some examples, implemented two gratings. others, it chirped grating device.
