Tunable lasers are widely used for the swept source optical imaging. While the majority of commercially available tunable sources operate in 1300 nm and 1500 nm spectral ranges, the 700-1100 nm spectral range is beneficial for applications like high resolution optical coherence tomography (OCT) or non-destructive testing (NDT) [1]. Laser sources based on semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOAs) have a wide tuning range and a relatively compact size [2]. We report on the development of tunable semiconductor lasers covering 780-1000 nm spectral range with a fiber ring cavity based on the novel single quantum well (SQW) broadband SOAs.
