Abstract
We demonstrate a 1300-nm ultra-broadband and compact light source module with 180 nm FWHM optical bandwidth and 22 mW of output power, realized with four superluminescent diodes (SLEDs) that are integrated on a temperature- stabilized, free-space, micro-optical bench in a standard 14-pin Butterfly package. The light output of four SLED chips at 1220 nm, 1270 nm, 1310 nm and 1360 nm is collimated by micro-optical collimation lenses, spectrally combined through free-space dielectric edge filters and focused into a SMF-28 single-mode fiber. The combined broadband spectrum corresponds to a coherence length of 5.4 µm in air, suitable for ultra-high-resolution OCT systems at 1300 nm.
