Furthermore, the light source (1) has a wavelength-selective first filter element (5), which is situated downstream from the output source (2). Moreover, the light source (1) contains a first amplifier medium (3), which is situated downstream from the first filter element (5) and is capable of at least partial amplification of the radiation (R) emitted by the output source (2). The light source (1) further comprises at least one wavelength-selective second filter element (6), which is situated downstream from the first amplifier medium (3), the second filter element (6) having an optical spacing (L) to the first filter element (5).

    摘要: In at least one embodiment, a wavelength-tunable light source includes at least one fiber-based partial section and at least one delay section. For a wavelength λ of at least one portion of a radiation emitted by the light source as a function of time t, the relationship λ(t)=λ(t−τ) holds true. In this case, τ is a specific period of time. Furthermore, the delay section includes one or more oligomode fibers.
