Spectrally shaped light from supercontinuum fiber light sources
Résumé
Supercontinuumfiberlightsources with their extremely wide wavelength spectrum can provide new options for achieving specific wavelength distributions in a very flexible way. Two concepts for the combination of such supercontinuumlightsources with a spectrally dispersive optical system and an interactive filter for modulating the light spectrum are discussed. These concepts provide the possibility to achieve laser-like lightsources with an almost arbitrary shape of the spectrum, great flexibility in interactive tuning of the spectral properties and covering wavelengths from UV to the infrared range.
