Innovations in laser engineering have yielded several novel configurations for high repetition rate, broad sweep range, and long coherence length wavelength swept lasers. Although these lasers enabled performance frequency-domain optical tomography, they are typically complicated costly many require access to proprietary materials or devices. Here, we demonstrate a simplified ring resonator configuration that is straightforward construct from readily available at low total cost. It was by an...
Retrieving modal contents from a multimode beam profile can provide the most detailed information of beam. Numerical decomposition is method retrieving contents, and it has gained significant attention owing to its simplicity. It only requires measured an algorithm. Therefore, complicated setup not necessary. In this study, we conceived that be notably improved by data-efficiently sub-sampling image instead using full pixels profiler. By investigating window size, number pixels, algorithm...
Improving the axial resolution by providing wider bandwidth wavelength swept lasers remains an important issue for optical frequency domain imaging (OFDI).Here, we demonstrate a wide tuning range, all-fiber laser at center of 1250 nm combining two ring cavities that share single Fabry-Perot tunable filter.The contain semiconductor amplifiers with central wavelengths 1190 and 1292 nm, respectively.To avoid disturbing interference effects in overlapping spectral region, modulated order to...
Fiber-based polarization-sensitive optical frequency domain imaging is more challenging than free-space implementations. Using multiple input states, fiber-based systems provide sample birefringence information with the benefit of a flexible arm but come at cost increased system and acquisition complexity, either reduce speed or require bandwidth. Here we show that calibration single polarization state, configurations can approach conceptual simplicity traditional configurations. We remotely...

The demonstrates highest output per linewidth ratio kW regime...
We propose a globally optimized stochastic parallel gradient descent (SPGD) algorithm to analyze the modal content of laser beams with high precision.Modal decomposition (MD) based on conventional SPGD algorithms often falls local minimum when beam consists six or more fiber eigenmodes, which results in false combination modes.While keeping simplicity and speed advantages algorithm, we adopted several optimization techniques discern global from minima achieve better accuracy.The enhanced...
By including the additional variable, degree of coherence (DOC) in stochastic parallel gradient descent (SPGD) algorithm, we could improve accuracy modal decomposition which satisfies both measured near-field and far-field laser beams.

Analyzing modal contents of arbitrary beams from optical fiber provides useful information for high-power laser and mode-division-multiplexed communication. Numerical decomposition can be applied to diverse applications universally without complicated setup, but often leads a false solution which is called as local minimum.
