Abstract

In this study, wavelength-tunable and pulse-width variable Fourier domain mode-locking lasers were developed with a repetition rate of $60.9\mathrm{kHz}$. A spectral laser tuning range of over $100\mathrm{nm}$ was achieved by tuning the offset voltage to a fiber Fabry–Perot tunable filter (FFP-TF). The pulse width variation was achieved with amplitude modulation of the driving voltage to the FFP-TF. The pulse width ranged from $6.2\mathrm{\mu s}$ to $55\mathrm{ns}$. The linewidth of the laser changed, from 0.109 to $0.083\mathrm{nm}$, according to the pulse width variation.
