Abstract

Novel wavelength-swept Raman laser is newly demonstrated to implement an arbitrary gain band for a swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT). Instead of conventional semiconductor optical amplifier, we adapt optical fiber Raman amplification, which can easily generate an instant femto-second optical gain at arbitrary wavelength region from 1.1 to 1.6 micrometer using a high-power optical pump power. We also experimentally demonstrate OCT images using the novel wavelength-swept Raman laser source.
