Tunable FDML Laser Boosts Rapid Wavelength Switching

Tunable lasers are used in a wide range of applications like profilometry, laser spectroscopy, optical sensors for measuring pressure and temperature and optical coherence tomography (OCT). In many applications, a very rapid tuning, i.e. shifting from one wavelength to another is desired. A powerful concept enabling ultra-high tuning rates is e.g. Fourier Domain Locking (FDML).
