  • Amplitude modulated corrected frequency modulated laser
    Patent number: 5446530
    Abstract: A system is provided that corrects the undesirable fast power modulation observed at an output of a wideband frequency modulated (FM) laser. The correction is accomplished by applying a corrective voltage to an amplitude modulated (AM) modulator. The response of the laser is first measured to characterize the laser. Iterative predictions of appropriate voltage correction waveform, based upon the observed power modulation and the laser's response are then applied to the AM modulator to reduce the unwanted laser power modulation.
