The manufacturing of broadband semiconductor lasers has broad applications in optical communications and high sensitive bio imaging based on the emerging technology in optical coherence tomography. This new class of high power broadband laser devices will enable low cost and widely tunable laser source for optical communications. In the case of bio-imaging applications, this new device will enable a 3-D imaging system that is small, high speed, lightweight, low cost, and high resolution. In addition, a broadband laser source will also unfold many news products in communications and medical applications such as ultra-short pulse mode-lock laser for high capacity optical data transmission, in vivo biopsy and endoscopy of internal body cavities.
Low Cost, Lightweight, with high resolution
