Abstract
This letter describes a single-mode and mode-hop-free wavelength sweep light source that uses a micromachined scanning mirror. The light source has a wavelength sweep range of over 160 nm in the 1.55 <formula formulatype="inline" xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> <tex Notation="TeX">$\mu{\hbox{m}}$</tex></formula> band and the repeatability of output power level of less than <formula formulatype="inline" xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"><tex Notation="TeX">$\pm {\hbox{0.05}}~{\hbox{dB}}$</tex></formula> . The swept frequency is 307.8 Hz, and the frequency can be changed by use of a scanning mirror with a different mechanical resonance frequency. A tunable laser source was measured by a heterodyne interferometer that uses the wavelength sweep light source and it was confirmed that the side mode suppression ratio of the wavelength sweep light source was more than 50 dB.
