We present a novel method for low noise, high-speed, real-time spectroscopy to monitor molecular absorption spectra. The system is based on a rapidly swept, narrowband CW Fourier-domain mode-locked (FDML) laser source for spectral encoding in time and an optically time-multiplexed split-pulse data acquisition system for improved noise performance and sensitivity. An acquisition speed of ~100 kH...

This paper introduces modeling and simulation of the noise properties of the blue-violet InGaN laser diodes. The noise is described in terms of the spectral properties of the relative intensity noise (RIN). We examine the validity of the present noise modeling by comparing the simulated results with the experimental measurements available in literature. We also compare the obtained noise result...

Background: Although physical activity (PA) among adults is associated with health benefits, only one-third of young meet PA recommendations. Examining if the type has an impact on individuals’ psychological responses may future interventions and rates adults. Aims: This study examined affective other to a class high intensity interval training (HIIT) or moderate continuous (MICT). Method...

In this work, we investigate the steady-states of a fiber lasers mode-locked with nonlinear amplifying loop-mirror that has an inherent amplitude noise-suppression mechanism. Due to interaction sinusoidal transmission function fluctuating intracavity pulse show mechanism may lead detectable difference in relative intensity noise at reflected and transmitted output port under specific preconditi...

We present a highly coherent semiconductor laser device formed by a 1⁄2-VCSEL structure and an external concave mirror in a millimetre high finesse stable cavity. The quantum well structure is diode-pumped by a commercial single mode GaAs laser diode system. This free running low noise tunable single-frequency laser exhibits >50mW output power in a low divergent circular TEM beam with a spectra...

Optical sources in the visible region immediately adjacent to the near-infrared biological optical window are preferred in imaging techniques such as spectroscopic optical coherence tomography of endogenous absorptive molecules and two-photon fluorescence microscopy of intrinsic fluorophores. However, existing sources based on fiber supercontinuum generation are known to have high relative inte...

Relative intensity noise spectra of weakly index guided VCSELs in a multi{transverse mode regime are analyzed by using a model that takes into account all the transverse modes supported by the waveguide. Several resonance peaks are obtained in the noise spectra that correspond to the relaxation oscillation frequencies of the transverse modes. In is shown that for low spatially overlapping trans...

Passive harmonic mode-locking in soliton fiber laser is presented with excellent noise characteristics by employing a single-walled carbon nanotubes saturable absorber designed to interact with evanescent wave of the laser field. The 34(th) harmonic mode-locking pulses at 943.16 MHz repetition rate were stably generated with 18 mW output power, >50 dB side-mode suppression and -140 dB/Hz relati...
