Wavemeter Based On Dispersion And Speckle In A Tapered Hollow Waveguide
OSA CONTINUUM(2019)
摘要
We demonstrate a broadband wavemeter by imaging the radiation from multiple interfering modes approaching cutoff in a tapered hollow waveguide (clad by omnidirectional Bragg mirrors). Dispersion of the cutoff point was used to extract a coarse wavelength estimate, and subsequent computational analysis of the complex standing wave radiation pattern leading up to the cutoff point enabled a much finer estimate. This approach leverages the principles of speckle-based spectrometers but with added functionality provided by the spectral-spatial dispersion of the mode cutoff position. In proof-of-principle work, we verified a resolution < 10 pm over an operating range of nearly 100 nm in the near infrared using a tapered waveguide with a length < 1 mm. Significantly enhanced resolution should be possible through feasible refinements of the waveguides and peripheral components.
