title = "Coherence properties of fast frequency swept lasers revealed via full electric field reconstruction",
abstract = "A novel, time-resolved interferometric technique is presented allowing the reconstruction of the complex electric field output of a fast frequency swept laser in a single-shot measurement. The power of the technique is demonstrated by examining a short cavity swept source designed for optical coherence tomography applications, with a spectral bandwidth of 18 THz. This novel analysis of the complete electric field reveals the modal structure and modal evolution of the device as well as providing a time-resolved real-Time characterization of the optical spectrum, linewidth and coherence properties of a dynamic rapidly swept laser.",
