摘要
Emission of single quantum-well superlumineseent diodes of two types in spectral ranges between 810 and 870 mn and between 860 and 970 nm is combined with the help of an original broadband fibre Y-coupler. Such a light source produces more than 5 mW of the cw output optical power and has a record small coherence length of about 5 pm. Its relative intensity noise does not exceed -135 dB Hz(-1) in the 100-kHz-10-MHz frequency range. The use of this source in an optical coherence tomography provides the recording of tomograms of biological objects in vivo with a spatial resolution of 2-3 mum.
