A pulsed light source comprising a laser for emitting light in pulse form in response to an electric power from a power supply which is changeable in accordance with a control signal from an external circuit and a photodetector responsive to the light from the laser so as to produce an electric signal corresponding to the intensity of the reception light. The output signal of the photodetector is supplied to a comparator so as to compare the electric signal therefrom with a reference signal to output a signal proportional to the difference between the electric signal and the reference signal. In response to the output signal of the comparator, a control circuit produces the control signal to be supplied to the power supply by adding the output signal of the comparator to a predetermined signal to control the electric power outputted from the power supply to the laser.

In this invention an optical fiber doped with a rare earth element and coupled to be pumped with a laser is coupled to an optical feedback loop. The feedback loop couples the output signal of the fiber amplifier to the input of the fiber amplifier. A narrow bandwidth filter coupled to the feedback loop allows a selected wavelength of the amplified spontaneous emission to pass from the output of the fiber amplifier to the input of the fiber amplifier. The feedback signal has a wavelength which is different from that of the pump signal and the wavelengths of the signals to be amplified. In operation, when bursts of optical signals from at least two discrete word or frequency division multiplexed channels are amplified in the fiber amplifier, the undesired fluctuations of gain of the output signals normally due to transient saturation of the erbium-doped filter amplifier are substantially eliminated.

A laser device for generating frequency-doubled laser pulses at maximum eciency. A laser rod is optically pumped to radiate unpolarized light at 1.064.mu. wavelength for transmission within a ring-type resonator defined by a flat mirror and a turning prism. The light from one end of the rod is linearly polarized by a beam splitter into two parallel beams of orthogonal components which are transmitted through an 0.532.mu. output mirror, a frequency doubler phase matched for one component, and a Q-switch, to the turning prism for return along the beam of the other component to the beamsplitter. The output mirror, doubler and Q-switch are substantially ineffective during the pumping cycle, and because the component beam axes are reversed, the light does not return to the rod for stimulating light emission. After peak level pumping, however, the Q-switch is biased to rotate each component one quarter wavelength and return the components to combine and reenter the rod for stimulated light emission. The frequency doubler, now receiving high power radiation, transforms a portion of the returning 1.064.mu. component to a 0.532.mu. component which is then reflected out of the resonator by the output mirror.

A swept light source of the present invention keeps a coherence length of an output beam long over an entire sweep wavelength range. A gain of a gain medium is changed with time in response to a wavelength sweep and the coherence length is kept maximum. The gain of the gain medium is kept close to a lasing threshold and an unsaturated gain range of the gain medium is narrowed over the entire sweep wavelength range. An SOA current waveform data acquiring method of driving while keeping the coherence length long, a novel coherence length measuring method, and an optical deflector suitable for the swept light source are also disclosed.

Technologies pertaining to accounting for pulse history effects are described herein. In connection with accounting for pulse history effects, an amount of time between a first current pulse and a second current pulse that are to be transmitted to a pulsed laser is determined. Based upon such an amount of time, a determination is made as to whether a porch pulse is to be prepended to the second current pulse. When the porch pulse is to be prepended to the second current pulse, an amplitude and duration of the porch pulse are computed based upon the amount of time. The porch pulse is transmitted to the pulsed laser immediately followed by the second current pulse, wherein the porch pulse pre-charges the pulsed laser for emitting a pulse of light based upon the second current pulse.
