Novel S+C+L Broadband Source Based on Semiconductor Optical Amplifiers and Erbium-Doped Fiber for Optical Coherence Tomography

We have developed a novel, spectrally-flat S+C+L band source with > 120 nm bandwidth and 4 mW output power based on semiconductor optical amplifiers and an erbium-doped fiber amplifier for optical coherence tomography imaging applications.
